After the first spoke broke did you release the tension on all the spokes and after installing the broken one put all the spoker at the advised tension?
Replacing just one spoke is cheaper but will result in continuous spoke problems

Yes, hard to say what's going on with the info available. Is it the same spoke that's breaking all the time? If they are new wheels perhaps there's an issue with the angle of exit from the rim being a bit off putting a lot of stress on the spoke. Was the wheel ridden after breaking the spoke? I made the mistake once of continuing to ride a 36 spoke rear touring wheel for quite a while after breaking one spoke on a tour. With 36 spokes I didn't even notice it at first and continued riding until a couple weeks later I noticed the wheel was getting out of true, and only then did I notice the broke spoke. Replaced the single broken spoke but the very next day popped two more. Whole wheel needed to be rebuilt with new spokes because the other spokes got too fatigued while I was riding with the broken spoke.
