Same boat and I didn't want to spend 70$ equivalent for the #Yubikey 5 USB-C (I have the feeling that they increase a lot in price since I got my first one), so I tried the token2.swiss option (I'm in Switzerland, wanted to support local company and it's made in Switzerland, I guess last assembly and programming but still).
Price is much better, like 20-25$, the USB-C model is more compact than the Yubikey USB-A but wider than the Yubikey 5 USB-C.
It had NFC but I don't really need it if I can plug it in the phone directly.
The Rev2 model can host 300 passkey, it's crazy huge, especilly that most service still use the certificate version were data is not stored on the key (so far only GitHub is listed on the key as a passkey).
For passkey and FIDO2 2FA it's very good.
For the rest, Yubikey is much better. First Linux support for OTP is really combersome, you need to manually install and run a Python app which doesn't work with shenanigans (I mean, installing dependencies and plugins), so far it's still not working on my Ubuntu but tech support is very responsive, hopefully they will help me to sove it when I got time.
Android app is working fine for OTP.
Using the key for 2FA on Linux (unlock, sudo, ...) is not working yet but I'm still trying.
PGP and ssh login with ed25519-sk I didn't try yet.
I also couldn't add my HMAC for Keypass XC on it, not sure it's possible.
I would say, if you strictly use it for passkey/FIDO2 2FA, it's a good product at a competitive price, it you want to have all your OTP in it and you are ok to read it on your phone, fine. (Or on Windows/iOS of course, didn't test but it should be better supported).
If you want the more advanced stuff, get a Yubikey, the time I lost so far is not worth the cost saving for me.
Picture for comparison.
