For one lamp, the Amazon Smart Plug is usually worth about $20–$30 new if you already use Alexa and just want simple on/off voice control or schedules. A good deal is around $18 or less. If you see it above about $30–$35, it’s usually not the best value versus other reliable smart plugs. Used/refurbished units typically make sense around $10–$18 if they’re complete and in good condition.

If you want dimming, color, or warmer/cooler light, a smart bulb is usually the better buy and often costs about $10–$25 per bulb depending on features. If you only need basic on/off control, a cheaper Wi‑Fi/Matter smart plug often runs about $8–$20 new and may be the better value.

Prices change often, so check sold/completed listings before buying.
