IDA Pro Alternatives?

[Decoy]

Hi Everyone,

So my latest obsession has been with embedded device hacking/reverse engineering. I've been having tons of fun discovering UART/JTAG ports/pins, dumping firmware, and walking the file systems. As far as binary analysis goes - I am looking for something comparable to IDA Pro. I've used it and like it, and from what I have read - it's considered the best; however it is also the most expensive. Does anyone know of any good alternatives the have a comparable feature set? I've been looking into Binary Ninja which is about $150 for a Hobbyist license - I am leaning towards that one so far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

D

Binary Ninja is a good alternative to IDA Pro, and their API for Plugins is pretty nice. Hopper is another good alternative, although I haven't used it much.
