Try both "Admin Tools Core" and "SecurityCheck"; both are free and work well together.

Also, install "AdminExile" to mask the path to your /administrator and to provide "Brute Force" protection.

Enable "Two Factor Authorisation" on your "Super User" account.

All free to do.

The above are in addition to making sure that your hosting environment is secure, that you keep your extensions up to date and that you don't install anything on the "Vulnerable Extensions List" ;)

I have used RS Firewall in several year, and really satisfy with the features. I think if you seriously to maintain your security no problem when it will cost you.

The paid extensions sometimes will help you alot than free extensions. But it is up to you, it just my an opinion.
