Pull the belt off and spin each pulley, you'll likely find that it's the one on the tensioner, if the new alternator is grinding take it back.

If just the pulley is available it's less money.

True, but if the pulley's bearings have worn out, the tensioner spring might be ready to let loose too. I'd change the whole thing.
