The Best Option for DC Motor, Single Switch Ceiling Fan/Light Combo?

I'm trying to be cheap lol so I was looking at the alternatives to the Bond Bridge.
It seems the Broadlink RM Pro does the same thing for about 30% of the price of the Bond Bridge. In your experience, was there a steep learning curve for implementing the integration using this app/driver? Is one more reliable than the other?
