You can get an analog temperature / humidity sensor on amazon for pretty cheap.
Unfortunately, they are more B2B focused these days than the B2C focus they started with, but you might also check out Awair, if you haven't seen it already. Their main product is $300 though.

I did some quick searching on Amazon and found out that they make an Amazon-branded $70 air quality monitor. It's brand new.

That said, I wonder if an air purifier wouldn't be a better first choice if you don't have one already. You can found a decent one for a medium-sized room around the same price point.
Airthings is another brand that appears to be worth checking out. They have several different models with the entry level at $65.
Ikea just came out with something inexpensive as well.

- poisonborz 5y agoThanks for this extensive answer! I saw the Amazon preview and am interested of the accuracy. Didn't know it was actually Awair, and after some research, Element does seem to be a good sensor, even for $300. But then it turned out it is sold out everywhere due to a crypto scheme...
