If you have low budget, then your best option is using open-source block-explorer, so your costs is limited to invest and maintain your hardware / network connection.

But you need to check whether it's actively maintained, whether it has been audited or proven to be reliable (e.g. running few years with high performance without any security breach).

Accoring to blockchair (https://blockchair.com/dumps), it's entire database with indexes is 900 GB (compared to ~250 GB for the raw blockchain alone)

They don't mention whether 900GB only applies to Bitcoin, some cryptocurrency that listed or all cryptocurrency that listed.
