Foveon alternatives

Foveon is unique design, others just rely on traditional Bayer color filter and few offer monochrome without the filter, but from some reason no filter is more expensive.

K-1 is the cheapest one with pixel shift which can come closer to Foveon, but only works for subjects which remain static until four photos have been shot. More expensive choice would be higher megapixel number which is then downsampled to have more color resolution for smaller image. Basically you need quite a big difference to have obvious differences. I'm afraid you would have to get something like Fuji GFX 100 to have pixel shift look with non-static subjects when downsized to more typical resolutions like 8K.
