AFS, YFU and Rotary International are the best. Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive. I never recommend Intrax because they are affiliated with AYUSA, one of the programs with the most difficulties.
Edit: Sue gave a good answer but implied that host families are paid in programs OTHER than Rotary. This is not true. Host families in ALL CSIET certified programs are volunteer.

YOU should do the comparison.
I know that AFS, and YFU are two of the most highly regarded programs that operate in the US. Also, Rotary International, and Sister Cities programs are good. I believe Rotary is less expensive, but it is also on a different sort of program than others…taking volunteers as families, rather than paying them. You should do the research yourself, and compare the programs, see which works best for you.
