Make your own. It is not difficult. At worst start with Heinz ketchup as a base, but I prefer to make it from scratch. Instead of ketchup, use tomato passata - then add vinegar, sugar, and spices. The last three ingredients are where you make your mark. Choose the right vinegars - apple cider vinegar is nice. Choose the right sugars - typically brown sugar of some sort, but some molasses is also good. You can try other non artificial sweeteners too. Spices - typically some garlic (powdered is good as it is a sauce), onion powder, smoked & sweet paprika, and whatever else takes your fancy. I like to use a bit of tamarind too.
Problem I have is I never write the recipe down, just make it up as I go based on what I have in the pantry. It is always a bit different, but never unpleasant.
