Cheapest route is patience: drill lots of deep holes into the top, keep it moist, cover it, and let it rot over a season or two. Stump removers just speed that up a bit. If you want it gone this weekend, rent a stump grinder. Dig around it first and clear any stones, they wreck the teeth. Then fill the hole with soil and let it settle.
