Try HMI panels from Weintek (http://www.weintek.com).
EasyBuilder is the software for Weintek panels.
As for me, EasyBuilder is not very user friendly. You can try it, it's free (size is about 10 Mb):

They are rather cheap and support Siemens PLC.

Some times ago the cheapest panels were QuickDesigner (TotalControl) panels. About $350.
Weintek's panels are much more expensive. Weintek panels are WinCE based with reach functionality.
They couldn't be one of the cheapest.

Recently I was looking for cheap panel too.
I found out this:

C-more, EZ-touch, Red Lion

Please, if anyone has an experience with listed share here.

They are discontinued products. You can use QuickPanel View family instead. Migration of applications developed with QuickDesigner is supported.

But the upgrade is very costly.
