ArmoryPaint is a sort of alternative to substance painter, and you can download it for 16€, but they also give you the choice of compiling it from source for free. It has a nice balance between people who pay for the convenience and frugal developers who understand and can compile it themselves (or don't but are now incentivized to learn, usually kids getting into game development) and can use the program; otherwise, wouldn't have been accessible.
