Well... real Doctersights have been difficult find these days, but if you can (probably won't be from the US), they'll cost anywhere from $400 to $900.
The clones aren't too expensive. The most expensive is the Tasco unit, which can be considered to be a real steel item sold by a couple of airsoft stores, and even that is just a touch over $200. I know from personal experience that this will fit the Elcan Doctersight mount.
Other "MRD" (Mini Red Dot) sights on the market that *may* fit Doctersight mounts are also on the market, and even the most expensive one is just a touch over $400USD. Such models would be the CMore STS, JP Enterprises, Safariland Spec Ops, Burris FastFire, Trijicon RedDot, Trijicon RMR Dual Illuminated, Laser Devices Sub-Miniature, Leupold DeltaPoint and Sightmark Mini Shot.
From that extensive list alone, you can tell that Doctersight really changed the industry. Even companies like LaRue have created specialized combat accessories for the MRD platform, such as this:

As a tip, if you're buying for real steel use, you'll want a dot size around 7MOA. Anything smaller than.... let's say 5MOA would probably start to be too small for airsoft use.
The Samurai unit can be had for less than $150 if you can find it. These days, they're not as available as they use to be.

Scroll down a bit. Or Ctrl-F and enter "Samurai"
I've tested pretty much every single airsoft replica clone on the market, and the Samurai is probably the best one, at least most comparable to my extensive use with a real Doctersight. Very crisp dot, clean glass, and effective ambient light sensor.
