It depends what stage you are in your research, there are many good free sites. If you are looking for census records, Family Search Pilot site was census records from 1850-1900 then some of 1920, though Footnote has the 1860 images, and 1880 and 1920 don't have images.
Rootsweb and Genforums are good for finding people with the same surname, who may be searching for your same lines.

and Google is a good resource.
Once you have gone through the free sites, then I would decide how much a subscription site would be worth to you.
