Arlo Secure doesn't cost that much.  US pricing is $12.99 per month for unlimited cameras at one location ($9.99 per month if you go with the annual payment plan).

i am now using Eufy Cam3 cameras and have nothing but positive experience with them.  I have 6 cameras, all with spotlight and one with built-in solar panel.  They were super simple to set up, and I haven't had any issues with any of them.  Best of all, they have their own base station to manage them all, as well as provide local storage so no need for any subscription.

My Arlo experience was horrible, by comparison.  I bought 3 Essential Spotlights, and struggled for weeks to get them to connect to the network.  I never was able to get all 3 connected at the same time.  Even with some connected, they would often go offline and I had to manually reset them.  Support was of little help, and Arlo refuses to refund me for them. 

Hope this helps.
