For the budget catalyst, we recommend the forgeable Mappa Mare if you are planning to make your Klee a DPS, or the Prototype Malice if your Klee is to be a sub-DPS. Visit the Blacksmith in Mondstadt or Liyue to look at the ingredients needed.
Mappa Mare
Generally as a F2P account, you'll probably only have 1 or 2 copies of this catalyst, but as a 4-star catalyst, its base stats will outstrip any 3-star catalyst soon enough.
The Mappa Mare is generally the go-to F2P 'endgame' weapon for DPS.
Prototype Malice
For sub-DPS, this allows Klee to switch in, turn on her burst, and throw 2 Jumpty Dumpties to generate more energy, before switching out when her burst runs out. This line of playstyle is probably sub-optimal given Klee's kit, but should be useable nonetheless.
As a side-note, the prototype malice can be used to sub-heal, especially on pesky Abyss Floor 10 with burn DoT damage, and you only have 1 Barbara.
Twin Nephrite
If you're unable to forge the above weapons, you can go for the Twin Nephrite, a commonly found 3-star weapon. This means you'll be able to refine it to rank 5 (probably) and it will increase your SPD and ATK by 20% instead of 12%.
It also provides a substat of CRIT rate, which will synergize with your talent at Ascension 4.
Solar Pearl
We are also partial to Solar Pearl, which will have a great uptime due to Klee's multiple charges, which means that her normal attack damage can be buffed for a longer period of time.
Solar Pearl is only available on the BP, which means it is more accessible than the other gacha weapons, but not strictly F2P.
Lastly, if you're lucky (or unlucky) enough to get a 5-star catalyst, both the Lost Prayer and Skyward Atlas are fine additions for your Klee, with high scaling on level and great substats.
