The TP-Link Deco X55 wins overall on price. The eero Pro 7 is the more advanced Wi-Fi 7 mesh node with a 3-year warranty, Thread and Matter, at a higher cost.
The eero Pro 7 is tri-band Wi-Fi 7 with a 6 GHz radio, 5 GbE ports and a Matter controller. The TP-Link Deco X55 is dual-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh with three Gigabit ports and no 6 GHz band.
The eero Pro 7 is both a Thread border router and a Matter controller. The TP-Link Deco X55 is neither.
Buy the TP-Link Deco X55 to spread dual-band Wi-Fi 6 across a house with extra nodes, three Gigabit ports and a lower price than a Wi-Fi 7 eero.
Choose the eero Pro 7 if you want tri-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh, multi-gig wired ports and built-in Thread and Matter, and you accept app-only management plus some features behind a subscription.
