If you're trying to use Ada 2012 there's no other compiler extant. If 2005 there's more options, but none are free TTBOMK.

Randy's Janus/Ada is Ada 95 w/ bits of succeeding standards, but it's the only one that I know of that's in the "hobbyist" price-range.

My own Byron, while currently stalled, is an attempt to write an Ada 2012 in Ada 2012.
