The Shelly Smart Plug (US) fights back on connectivity, joining 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth directly where the Eve needs a Thread border router, and it is the better reviewed of the two. Both measure energy use and have a physical button, and neither is weather resistant. Keep in mind they target different sockets: the Eve is a Type F plug for European outlets and the Shelly a Type B plug for North America, so the right choice often starts with your wall.
