MultiMC is a really good launcher, but I prefer to use Twitch for modded and the default launcher for vanilla.

TLauncher. Good alternative if you liked the older mc launcher. Allows you to use premium or offline/non-premium accounts. Easy to dl vanilla versions, optifine versions, and even forge versions. It also has some options to customize how the launcher looks, like you can change the launcher background to a custom image or video.

When I was broke and I really wanted to try Minecraft before buying I did end up using cracked launchers. ( I am sorry, I have the game now, however)
Tlauncher - The launcher is equipped with all available versions of the game developers, at any time, you will be able to install one of them, even the newest Minecraft version. (Auto-update)
The version also comes with OptiFine installed, if you so dearly want to.
I think there was even an option to register on their site and you would be able to choose your own skin using their system.
In the end, I would strongly recommend that you get/collect enough money to purchase the original official Minecraft launcher. Maybe ask for such a present on your birthday or Christmas.

hyperium

honestly the only other launchers out there is the technic, twitch, and MultiMC launchers

Uh... Minecraft's official launcher is a good launcher. I think the other launchers are viruses, but if that's so, trust the official one.
