If price is a factor, FG probably isn't the best idea. It's pricey. Probably, if I'm being honest, TOO pricey to really justify what it is. If you're a homebrewer, you'll still have to make your own stuff, put it into FG's occasionally counter-intuitive code, and especially mapping is a HUGE headache. Getting a simple gridded combat map is something I find to be a herculean task in FG.
If you're price-sensitive, steer away. Roll20 is solid and smooth (though mapping there is also annoying). MapTool is kind of amazing (though with a high entry barrier), these are free (or nearly so) and well worth your time.
FG isn't bad, and it has its high points (combat tracking is quite easy, and if you're running WotC adventures over a VTT it's kind of why the heck NOT?), but being affordable is not one of its high points.
