Agreed.
The OP may not realize atmospheric physics is in play, and no magic manual pump will create free energy.
Human power watts going in makes air pressure and cfm volume coming out. There's little to cheat around that.
When it comes to a dedicated air compressor for just bikes, any tiny oiless one will do, like the pancake ones for nail guns. Your local Harbor Freight store can have them on sale below $50, watch those flyers. Or buy used.
You don't need something fancy as the INF-2, it's more of a showoff piece to impress walk-in customers. The simple tire chuck included with the compressor is fine and is how folks have been doing it for the past 100 years.
Don't confuse air compressors, which store readily air in a tank, vs air inflators, which create tiny pulses of air on the fly and are god awfully slower than a manual pump.
Once you get your first air compressor, you realize all the other neat things you can do with it, like blowing water away off cassettes and chain for quick dry.
