I own a decent ktm hardtail, and have been recently looking to upgrade to a dropper post. I need it to be externally routed though.
What sort of specs should I be looking at to make sure it fits me and my bike.
Any brand recommendations are appreciated. I am however looking for something cheap. Hopefully below 100 bucks.
I found this for 50 bucks on sale: (link above). Should I just scratch my fantasy of getting it for cheap, or is this a viable option.
Any help is appreciated.

The one you linked is internally routed.
For external routing it seems like you don’t get a lot of options though. I’ve been using a KS LEV something, which is around 200 €. Granted, I also have a narrow tube, which makes for even less choice.
If they’re still around, “Brand X” make excellent cheap dropper posts. Some are internal, others external. I have an external one on my 2012 Giant Anthem and it’s great.
