Again, it depends on the intended use. There are several kinds of tachs that one can use depending on what you plan to measure and how you plan to measure it.

Generally speaking though, contact type dial tachs can be had for less than $100. Phototachs (contact and non-contact) range from around $100 to $300, while laser tachs start around $200 up to $300. These are all the hand hand type.

Unless you have a specific need for a contact type, then one of the contactless tachometers should be the one of choice.
