I need an inexpensive wireless barcode reader that works with Android phones.

Does anyone know of an inexpensive barcode reader that works with square and an Android phone. I know square doesn't support them but there are lots of videos of different scanners that work. They are all over $100. I don't want to spend a lot and decide that it isn't going to work for me. Suggestions would be appreciated. I was hoping for under $50.

I've already done that. I have some won't work with square, so I was looking for a proven commodity.

Thanks. I already saw that, but I wanted to see if anyone had a cheaper one they used that worked with square. Appreciate the help though.
