I only buy free range eggs even though they were a little more expensive, and surprisingly they're the same price they've always been and cheaper than the grocery store brand.
Problably because they largely don't really mean all that much to begin with in any case

For avoiding the cruelty in the egg industry, I'd recommend looking at stuff from plants like Just Egg or aquafaba. Some of ones for baking particularly are way cheaper than eggs too
Ah yeah, that's certainly something to be aware of. The brand I get is local to my state, so I looked into them. They have a few different types of eggs that I wasn't really sure what the differences were when I saw them in the store - "free range", "pasture raised", "free roaming", not industry standards or certified in any sense - but they describe what they are on their site. Whether or not they're telling the truth, though 🤷
I've heard of just egg, I'll see if I can find some. I like trying things out. I've made vegan mayo before and it was pretty good!
Considering even industry certifications aren't always followed, I'd have to imagine ones without are even less likely to be followed. Even if they are, they're almost certainly still doing stuff like Chick culling :(
There's also some store bought vegan mayo too that's pretty good! (Though making your own is probably cheaper if you enjoy doing that)
If you like trying things out, I should also note there's a good number of vegan recipe communities here on Lemmy. For instance:
!homecooks@vegantheoryclub.org
!veganrecipes@sh.itjust.works
