I know pricing is regional but where I am I can often get whole chickens for < $2/pound, and dry beans are going to be better on everything except arguably time (and that only if you don’t plan ahead).
We’ve got an instant pot, and cook dry beans 2x / week… don’t need the baking soda, if you do them for a bit longer — 32 minutes for small (like black beans) and 40 for garbanzo beans.
And yeah. A IP or any pressure cooker makes a huge difference for us not having to soak them first

I’m not saying there’s a trick, but I’ve heard other people having issues if you don’t use enough water.
2x water to beans works for me.
Rinse the beans, to get any dust and crud off … if there’s an inch of beans then fill it so that an inch of water on top of that
