There are spadillions of them on Ebay. Fender makes some inexpensive ones that you'll be able to buy around $15. Used ones are a good buy.

I have set my intonation using a $12 Korg tuner that my kids put in my Christmas stocking a few years ago, and it works great. It is a little silver dude. Not chromatic, the mic is fairly weak, but if you plug into it, is as accurate as my $200 rack tuner.

Modern digital tuners by reputible makers are all pretty accurate. Setting intonation is always a compromise. Most any decent tuner will work.

I don't think I'd bother to spend more than $15 on a digital tuner, unless I needed the pedal variety for the stage.

And yes, intonation is like a longterm relationship. Give and take, baby.
