It's FOSS has an overview of 13 Raspberry Pi-like single board computers.
The Raspberry Pi Zero and the Raspberry Pi Zero W were added to the line up of Raspberry Pi's in the last few years. These ultra-small form-factor SBC's have been a big hit and continue to be a part of Raspberry Pi projects from the maker and DIY communities.
Due to the smaller form factor and the prices these boards are targeting, they have had to cut down on many features like a dedicated Ethernet port, slower processor (compared to their full-fledged cousins).
In an earlier article, we listed the best alternatives to Raspberry Pi. In this one, I'll list some alternatives to Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W.

This is a nice summary, but there are a number of potential items that may affect your choice.
- What is the shipping time and cost? Often a significant fraction of the bare SBC cost.
- What enclosures and/or cooling are needed? This may depend on the application, but likely to increase cost.
- What other peripherals and connectors? Power supply, ethernet/wifi, USB, GPIO, etc. may add cost, depending on you use.
