http://www.adahome.com has a whole category for inexpensive compilers.
There are opportunities in the form of student discounts, compilers
for which you get a limited version if you buy a book, and one compiler
which is free.

To date, "free" is the absolute cheapest one can get.  Nobody has yet
offered to pay you to take their compiler.
