Zyxel GS1200-5HPV2 should support PoE per port configuration, at least according to their manual: https://download.zyxel.com/GS1200-8/user_guide/GS1200-8_V2.00_Ed2.pdf Page 38

ICX6450-C12-PD is $35 + shipping on ebay. It's pretty compact. If you want smaller, you should specify some maximum dimensions.
