I mostly use GE Link LED light bulbs, they are controlled by Alexa through a Wink or SmartThings (and a few others) hub, and cost $15 each.

There are some applications where a smart switch is more appropriate, as in where you want more than one bulb to be controlled at the same time (multi-bulb fixtures) or have non-standard (fluorescent) fixtures. For that I use GE smart switches from Amazon or Lowes. They are also controlled by the hub but are a bit more difficult to install.
