Is there a cheaper alternative?

Probably everything. The high N content of manure will burn your new grass as it pops out of the seed. o I would do anything but manure.

Stay far away from pure manure. It will burn your grass as stated above. I live on a horse farm and we won't spread the fresh stuff in the fields.

They make manure spreaders for Farmers...not lawns...How are you going to explain to your customer that you are spreading cow dung on a lawn their kids play on...Do yourself a favor and use quality compost or a top dressing suited to what you want to do. Top Dressing on Quality turf is not the same as spreading manure on a pasture of field.
