Most off the shelf swing-out units like RIGd, Wilco, Dirtcomm Trail Swing, etc… are in the $1300-$1700 range depending on what accessories you add. To find something less costly you may need to see if a local Fab shop can build you something. Even then, you may not save much.
One of the problems with hitch mounted cargo carriers are that while cheap, they are fixed in one position. You lose the convenience of the back hatch/cargo area. If you need anything, you either climb over the back seats or you take the cargo carrier off which sorta defeats the purpose. The swing out style are worth it.

I didn’t realize the carrier would block the hatch from opening. I’ll keep looking, thank you.

I’ll keep looking. Maybe I can find a used one somewhere. Thank you.
I made this out of mostly scrap around my house. A Rotopax or other mount could be fabricated to it. My rear hatch motor doesn’t work so I have no need for access. I did the roof rack spare thing for a bit, but getting a 60 plus pound tire off of a lifted rig when you’re only 5’7” was a struggle haha.
For the money rigd is charging you literally could just buy and entire Coastal rear setup with dual swing outs if you’re able to weld… that’s the route I went after fabricating my own knock off version of the swing out, the departure angle just wasn’t good..
