There’s no way I’m going to pay eighty dollars for this one: BoardZoo
Is there a solution that is a lot cheaper?

Would the Android OS recognize it?
no, stock Android does not recognize USB cameras, but neither does it recognize other v4l2 based cameras. You need to provide/write a HAL module to make your camera known to the Android system.
there are patches flying around that teach Android how to operate v4l2 cameras, Google is your friend.
