What this does, and what it refuses to do
Every value in the table is the figure Ubiquiti publishes, read from the same sourced record that renders each product’s gear page. Nothing is re-typed here, so a spec correction reaches this tool the moment it reaches the page it came from. Prices are the list prices on those same records.
A specification listed on one sheet and not the other is reported apart from the table and never scored. That distinction does real work: the G6 Instant publishes no zoom figure, which is not a zoom of zero — it is Ubiquiti not stating one. Treating silence as a weakness would invent a fact, which is the single thing a sourced catalogue exists to prevent.
A pair needs at least 8 shared specifications before a table is drawn at all. Two access points share sixteen or more; an access point and a NAS share three, and those three are dimensions, weight and power draw — the rows every record carries. Rendering that as a comparison would dress a coincidence up as an analysis, so the tool says the pair does not compare and stops.
The verdict slot is the important one. When a pair has a written head-to-head, you get its answer and a link to the full piece. When it does not, you get a sentence saying so. There is no third case where the tool reads the table and decides for you — the comparisons are written by someone who has deployed the hardware, and a difference count is not the same thing as a recommendation.
Spec sheets describe hardware under test conditions, not your building. Coverage figures assume open space, throughput figures assume a clean channel and a client that can use it, and the difference between two access points on paper is routinely smaller than the difference one wall makes. Use the table to rule options out, then read the write-up — or ask someone who has hung both.
