I think you may be asking for a tall order to get what you want under $100. If you find something let us know. I have several uses for such a device if it can be interfaced to a microcontroller.
Yeah it seems like not many people are having luck, at least with a fairly inexpensive module. I'm sure I could get something to work if I could just find a detector IC that is sensitive to around 690 nm for a red laser pen (cheap emitter As I said before, I found a detector but it only returns either a detected or not-detected value:
