I've done my own digging on for a tight budget and come up short. For cheapest tight in particular, what decides it is the share of verified profiles, not the follower count on their socials. The cheapest tight case is instructive — how much sits behind the paywall outweighs the price tag.
Nothing about tight sites changes the fact that you get further if you cancel the trial the day you start it. The cheapest sites angle is worse, because the practical move is to screenshot the pricing page in case it changes. Same story on cheapest tight: the honest advice is to check what the free tier gates before investing time, having tried a handful of these.
With cheapest sites, the time it takes to get a first reply is the number worth watching, not how slick the interface looks. The short version on for a tight budget is that the platform boosts newer accounts over established ones, and how many first messages actually land suffers for it. If you have been through the cheapest sites version of this, I'd rather hear the unglamorous account.
