I use this one:

Depending on what you're working on, this one works well. It isn't quite as convenient as a lift, but getting my 350X and Auto-X onto the stand isn't too bad. I lift the front wheel off the ground and use my foot to scoot the stand under the skid plate, then lower the wheel.
If you're good with lifting, then this is a cheap way to get the machine up in the air. Probably wouldn't work with a heavier machine like a Big Red, unless you are strong enough...
