Bon Charge Max vs Vellgus Pro
The Pro is the cheaper of the two at $849, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The Max packs more emitters (400 against 120), which usually means a shorter session for the same dose. The Pro covers more wavelengths, though the extra bands have thinner research behind them than 660nm and 850nm.

Max
A recognised wellness brand with the vaguest irradiance disclosure in our data. Two wavelengths, no measurement distance, and the shortest warranty here.
Pro
Specs captured from an archived snapshot because Vellgus blocks automated access, so verify the price before publishing. The irradiance figure is unusable as published.
