is the hudy board the only one around?
$125 doesnt seem to be in my budget at the moment.
do any other companies manufacture these boards?

Yes. I brought the Hudy setup board and I regret it because, the Integy Team Alignment Setup Station for 1/10 touring car is about $59.99 and made out of aluminum. Here is where you can get it.
http://64.70.208.72/speedtechrc/75.html
part number C22305.
Just buy a particle board from a hardware store.
I would try to sale my Hudy stuff, but I payed too much for it and could never get back what it is worth.

A setup board typically will screw onto your axles and allow precise measurements of camber, caster, toe in/out, and caster+kickup (mostly onroad for this). You can also measure servo travel independently for left and right, steering centering, etc. It makes a world of difference from using the eyeball method! Plus the integy setup is made from anodized aluminum (mostly, except the top piece is plexi) with will not get hazed by fuels or other chemicals!

RPM also makes good setup tools but not complete as the HUDY or Integy.
I would not be able to setup a car properly without a setup board. If you ever play with droop, ride height, caster, camber, toe, tweak, alignments of tires, etc, get a setup board.

Functionality looks to be the same for both. I use HUDY and never actually used Integy. I have seen them used and seem to me that HUDY is easier tool to use for alignment. But thats just me.

If you can get the Laser tweak for 50 bucks get it, But tweak in a touring car is usually the last thing I look at. But in 12th scale its everything.
Hudy boards are like their tools. way to much BlingBling for what you get.
Integy, I use this one... it is simply the best bang for the buck.
Sts makes a Hudy knock off for 1/3 the price BUT, if you have pivot ball suspensions you can only adjust two wheels at a time then you have to switch. ( only two of the wheel plates have holes in them to adjust your pivot balls)
I use 4 scales to set my tweak. I don't use the laser thing or any of that.
