Suggestions for an inexpensive antenna analyzer?

I recommend the NanoVNA, which is about $50.

It's definitely not top of the line, and it does take a bit of playing with to get used to. However it has a heck of a lot of features for the price point.
- I'll second this. I opted for the more expensive version to get the larger screen and N connectors (instead of SMA) and have been very happy with it.
  
  Ohhhh type N connectors! I have to check that out.
- I will check it out! Thanks!
  
  There is also the TinySA. Which is a similar idea as the NanoVNA, but it's for spectrum analysis instead of an antenna analysis.
I use a nanoVNA. It's not exactly an antenna analyzer, but if your just trying to check for resonance/SWR, it's fine.
