Of course it's a lot more expensive than buying something premade from a store shelf, but at least you can get something darn close to your actual character. And especially if you go for the cheaper (and more durable) plastic, it's really not all that expensive in the grand scheme of things.
Edit: Somehow I read this question as asking for a 'custom' manufacturer, someone who would create a special, unique figurine just for you. As far as I know, Heroforge is the only place doing that. If on the other hand you are simply looking for a source of inexpensive figurines and are not particularly interested in finding the exact figurine that precisely represents your character, then there likely will be a plethora of less expensive options. Heroforge is strictly for those one of a kind, personalized figurines. Else it is too expensive for just standard figurines.

There is a guy on Facebook called Impact Miniatures that will print any STL file you send him at a huge discount. He might be just what you are looking for.

I also use Arcknight flat plastic miniatures. Same idea as the paper minis, but slightly larger in my experience.
Reaper also has pretty good quality minis in a wide range of genres at a decent price.
