Cheaper maybe, but better? No way.

You have to fight a bunch of ogres about it though, so business as usual.

I have a lot of experience with Foundry and I think it is great. Very easy to run games in person or remote, plenty of modules and buy in from community creators and larger businesses for free or to purchase. There is a learning curve to getting it set up and running smoothly, but eventually it will become second nature. You can get as complex or light with integrations as you want for the most part. My groups started with D&D 5e and switched to Pathfinder 2e and have had a decent experience with both.
