While Amazon continues to dominate the smart speaker race with its line of Echo products, they are not the only audio devices worth your consideration. If you’re in the market for something a little different, then here’s a quick rundown of some of the best Amazon Echo smart speaker alternatives at the same price.

Amazon Echo speakers tend to come with two main selling points. The first is the low cost with the retail giant offering various Echo products to suit different price points. The second is the inclusion of Amazon Alexa support. With Alexa built-in, Amazon Echo speakers are a great option to get feedback to questions asked, or control other Alexa-compatible smart home products. This combination has made the Echo line popular with consumers and all indications seem to suggest that popularity will continue throughout this year, and even 2021.

In a recent report, eMarketer predicted Amazon will continue to hold on to the top spot with almost 70 percent of U.S. smart speaker users expected to use an Amazon Echo device next year. With such a high level of market domination set to continue, the benefits of owning an Amazon Echo are well known. However, they are not the only smart speakers out there and for some consumers, opting to go with an Echo competitor might even be the wiser choice.

Best Amazon Echo Dot Alternative

Echo Dot Alternative

The cheapest and easiest way to get involved with the Echo line is through the Amazon Echo Dot which retails for just $49.99. In fact, it can often be picked up even cheaper than that, making it a great speaker for those on a budget. A directly comparable device to the Echo Dot is the Google Nest Mini. Formerly known as the Google Home Mini, this speaker retails for the exact same price (and again can often be found cheaper), and is also similar in size and overall design to the Echo Dot. In many ways, it's a like-for-like replacement with the main difference being an emphasis on Google Assistant instead of Amazon Alexa. Due to this, those more invested in Google’s ecosystem will find the Nest Mini is a better option for them, compared to the Echo Dot.

Best Amazon Echo Studio Alternative

If price is no object then the Amazon Echo Studio high-fidelity smart speaker with 3D audio and Alexa is going to be worth checking out. This one is designed to showcase the best audio quality from an Echo speaker, making it ideal for audiophiles who want a smarter device. However, for the $200 the Echo Studio costs, some consumers might be better off opting for the Sonos One. Not only do you get the best of the Sonos experience and sound quality, but the One also comes with even greater smart home compatibility - thanks to support for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Of course, if the budget stretches even further than $200, and the best sound quality is an absolute must, there’s always the Google Home Max. While this one will set you back $300, it does pack an even greater bass punch, a more immersive sound overall, and is still as smart as any of the other speakers mentioned here.
