The Tapo P306 outlet extender turns one wall socket into nine usable power options: three individually controllable smart AC outlets, three always-on outlets, and three fast USB charging ports (including USB-C PD).

Best for smart home setups that need more plug capacity, especially in bedrooms or home offices, with the main caveat that you are adding a multi-port device to a single outlet.

TP-Link Tapo Apple HomeKit Smart Plug Mini, Compact Design, 15A/1800W Max, Super Easy Setup, Works with Siri, Alexa & Google Home, UL Certified, 2.4G Wi-Fi Only, White, Tapo P125(2-Pack)

The Tapo P125 (2-pack) is a compact, no-hub smart plug set designed for Apple HomeKit, Siri voice control, and scheduling through the Tapo app. Setup is generally quick, and the outlet-friendly shape helps when space is tight, but it is 2.4G Wi-Fi only and may require device power assumptions (some appliances need to stay able to turn on by power restoration).
