BestQool BQ40 vs BestQool Pro100
The BQ40 is the cheaper of the two at $149, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The Pro100 packs more emitters (100 against 40), which usually means a shorter session for the same dose. The Pro100 covers more wavelengths, though the extra bands have thinner research behind them than 660nm and 850nm.

BQ40
A travel panel rather than a therapy panel. Expect to hold it close and treat one small area at a time.
Pro100
The cheapest four-wavelength half-body panel we track. Read the regulatory line carefully: 510(k) exempt is a self-declared route, not an FDA review.
