For non-professional application it’s not the cheapest option, however on the used marked I payed 82 € for my last ethernet bus cupper plus 3 digital IO terminals. Often used Beckhoff variants of the functional identical terminal are a little bit cheaper than WAGO – might have to do with the different market segment they targeting. In a professional setting the hardware costs compensate often easily for saved working hours in debugging flimsy screw terminal connections and dubious firmware flaws. Also, the cheap options often need more than 5 times the control cabinet real estate per IO, witch alone can compensate for the higher price.
Wow, I'd love to add this to my control app for escape rooms, if those Wago controllers were a bit more affordable!
