Photomatix HDR Light releases its product as a lowend user product
Photomatix releases is product as Light version and you can see the difference from the fully fledge version. The budget version might come in as a good alternative for HDR.
Otherwise if you want to do HDR for free FDR tools and Qtpfsgui are the only free alternative and the results is often not so good if you don´t know what you are doing. There is of course a free trial you can use for awhile.
Most people covers the two or more pics in Photoshop and HDR software may be too complex for the common user. You could use Photoshop or Gimp for a cheap price and use layermasks to get a good exposure using two or more pics. People tend to overdo it because that they don’t know better.
