I wasn't impressed with Hartz's hair brush- the pins bent easily, and even fell out over just a few brushes- but this flea comb actually works functionally well as a hair brush, as long as you're careful to pull gently, as it does catch hairs rather easily.
As far as anti-flea functionality.. well, they got caught and crushed between the pins a lot, but otherwise managed to escape easily. Is that good? I don't know. It worked in the long run, along with a regimen of regular bathing (with cat shampoo), and I was able to remove all the fleas without having to resort to dangerous chemical treatments. While I'm not sure whether or not there's better available, I can say this did what I needed it to at a reasonable price.
It's also rather durable, unlike most hair brushes, so the longetivity further emphasizes the cost-benefit of the product. The one downside is that the bottom of the pins are a bit firm (not quite sharp, but nearly so) which means you have to be careful about dragging the brush down through the underfur, as it can be painful for the cat if you do so.
Looking at the bottom of the pins, they appear to have a rectangular bottom, rather than the usual rounded bottom most brush pins have. Whether this improves anti-flea functionality I can't say, but it means you have to be a bit more careful (on top of already being careful with how easily it catches tangles) when running this through thick fur.
The brush is also a bit hand-straining over longer periods, as it seems designed for smaller hands [than mine]. Conversely, it has really good grip, and I never had any slipping while using it.
Once you get used to the quirks, this is actually a rather capable hairbrush (y'know, unlike Hartz's brush actually intended for that purpose), which leads me to feel it's likely a good anti-flea brush, as well (after all, if it's catching most of the fur, it's likely catching most of the things in it. Nevermind that it only took about four days of brushing and bathing to remove all the fleas, which seems like a rather reasonable period.)
I don't have the familarity with flea combs to confidently recommend this from that front, but I can at least say it worked well enough for me, and at a budget price. I also went with this one because it was the most recommended I was able to find, so it likely is as capable as it seems to be.
At the very least, if you're specifically looking for a cheap flea comb option, this seems as though it'd be a safe bet.

Lovely
A lovely little cat comb. I wanted a flea comb because my cats get a lot of dander and their brush doesn't really get it off. My cats LOVE this comb, so it must feel really wonderful. It doesn't get a ton of hair all at once, but it does get in to the thicker areas that need it like the tail base. The dander comes off but just falls on the floor (or my lap) next to the cat mostly. I'd imagine the same would happen with fleas, being about the same size, they wouldn't really get caught in the brush itself. All in all exactly what I was looking for, and the hair glides off of it fairly easily. Also nice that the ends aren't sharp because I've had some combs that actually scratched my cat's skin or were prone to bending. These are nice thick and strong. OK to hold, too, doesn't hurt my wrist. Does create a bit of static on my cat lol
