I may soon be upgrading to 2.5Gbps internet, however all the routers that support said speed seem to be expensive. Is there any that cost less than $100?

It’ll be hard to find one at that price. You may find something with a 2.5G NIC but whether or not it will actually route at line speed is highly unlikely.
Your best bet to keep prices low is to add a 2.5G NIC to an old PC. Even that may not work

Many of the 2.5g optics don’t comply with standards and may not work in some devices.
PCIe 3.0 x1 is plenty for 2.5G.
I’ve never done it so I can’t say for certain.
I typically buy purpose built routers which advertise routing speed benchmarks
