There are many yoyo brands that meet the above criteria but I leave the topic here for everyone to discuss
For me, the answer is Onedrop.
For even cheaper, Yoyofactory and Magic yoyo

Cheap One drop? I am not sure about it but also it depend by the availability each person has.
Yoyofactory I do agree and also C3 (just bought the Cyber crash 2 and is insane) and they have many models in this price range and Yoyofriends with their Shortcut (which is a beast)

C3 has a few good options like the speedaholic xx or the cyber crash 2. I would recommend magicyoyo too for entry-level bimetals

How cheap is cheap? the new Duncan butterfly can be had for $3 sometimes and you won’t find a much better yoyo for $3…
if you want high performance metal, magic yoyo is about as cheap as it gets.
Topyo is my go to. You can find great monometals from them in the colossus series for $25-30, and some great bimetals around the $50-70 mark. I think I’ve bought around 8-10 topyos at this point and haven’t had one with quality control issues yet.

Good Life is a fantastic brand that not only makes GREAT yoyos but also prices them fairly. I’ve spent many posts on here talking about or referencing how much I love their throw the Mantra, but something I don’t always mention that warrants it is their other throws, such as the Gulch and Digitizer.
So yeah, I’d say that Good Life yos aren’t cheap, but they’re also not outrageously priced by any means. Instead, I see them as being priced fairly, as I stated before. And again, they are a true joy to play with.
I’d say yoyofactory (shutter, essence), c3yoyodesign (krown, radius nexus), duncan (barracuda) and topyo (silenus) just to cite a few.
These brands have good yoyos for multiple price points, and from what I have in my collection they are all quite good especially around the 50$ mark.

Monkey finger ray only charging $100 for his pieces of art is the best deal in all of yoyoing imo

Agreed, it is difficult to define cheap without knowing ones definition of cheap.
I say Onedrop as their NQP offerings are around $49, and they are b grade purely on asthetucs, not quality.
For 20 dollars less, I’d say the $30 offerings of quality plastics from Luftverk will be the definition of cheap and quality, assuming he continues his endeavors.
Magic yoyo, Topyo and Yoyofactory will likely give you the greatest bang for your buck in terms of low priced metal. That will likely be the consensus answer, and for good reason, but my preferences are above.

Probably some of the lesser known ones: Vosun, Yoyoformula, Yoyoofficer, Topyo, Yoyoapartment.
Some of their designs seem random to me, but purely from build quality perspective they are pretty good (clean cut, good finish, little to no vibe). You just need to know what you’re looking for spec wise.
Other obvious choices are Magicyoyo and probably B grades from well known companies, especially Yoyofactory B grades I love them.

There are a some amazing yoyos that are friendly to your budget. Check out

I’m throwing Recess into the ring. When available, the First Base is only $20 which is probably the best deal ever, seriously. Their most recent metal offerings (Joyride, Little League, Triple Double, Tropic Alien) also don’t go above $50 and their quality is top notch.

I would say Shinobu from Japan.
He can make …… from scratch, a wire wheel yo-yo that is absolutely Amazing.
And it’s very cheap(price-wise) at only $5000

Another vote for Topyo. Silenus, Null, Colossus, even the Mojo is a good deal.

Top-yo, Yoyo Apartment, Magicyoyo
I got a first base on the way. Been wanting one a long time!
Magicyoyo comes to mind for good deals. If I ever got a magicyoyo I think I’d get one off yotricks since it comes with the VIP bearing.

Where did you get a first base? I haven’t seen them available anywhere.

Found a pterodactyl one on an old BST post on here. It’s basically new in the box. I think there’s a few unsold on here if you do some digging. You know about the Dazzling Dave Frost Bite version too? Same yoyo but comes with a flat bearing for the unresponsive.
