During my search for a "suitable" wood stove, a few options caught my attention. They are all small, as a larger stove would not be practical.

Brunner, Iron Dog 1
Jotul, F 602
Nordpeis, Orion
and Nordpeis, ME Wall

For the intended use, I like the "Iron Dog One" the most. However, I can’t find any reports worldwide from someone who actually owns one.

The chances might not be good, but I’ll give it a try:

Does anyone know it?

Why do these inserts — without an "outer shell" — cost just as much as a complete stove WITH casing? ....
Because it is essentially a complete stove. Only the appearance doesn't match. A high-quality branded insert plus the surrounding structure can quickly reach or exceed five figures. That is why often only the finished stove is placed in the living room.

I don’t find the explanation very convincing...

Only...? It costs so much that some people simply skip it!?

A wood-burning stove is a luxury. And luxury comes at a cost.
You have to accept that...

You can’t expect hardware store prices. A proper stove from a reputable manufacturer often costs between 3,000 and 8,000. We have one from Lotus and paid 6,500 including installation.

There is no doubt that expensive wood-burning stoves exist.
I have no problem with something being "expensive" if there are clear reasons for it.

But I find it interesting to make the reasons behind the prices transparent.
A Nordpeis Orion costs 800€ (about 870 USD),
a glazed Jotul costs 1130€ (about 1230 USD),
and there are others from well-known manufacturers that are still NOT as expensive.

The background to this is fascinating.

Maybe there are fireplace inserts that cost less and I just haven’t found them yet?

In the meantime, I have found "cheap" fireplace inserts.
