Airthings 2989 View Radon vs Aranet Radiation

The Airthings 2989 View Radon wins overall, with a longer warranty and a wider connectivity, integrations, sensors and alerts set thanks to its Wi-Fi radon monitoring. The Aranet Radiation costs less, holds a higher owner rating and lasts longer on a set of batteries, but tracks a different hazard entirely.

What they detect and how you access it. The Airthings 2989 View Radon measures radon, temperature and humidity and reports over Wi-Fi for remote alerts. The Aranet Radiation measures ionizing radiation dose and total dose over Bluetooth only, with no radon sensing at all.

No. The Aranet Radiation has no radon sensor, so anyone concerned about radon needs a dedicated radon detector such as the Airthings 2989 View Radon, regardless of how the rest of the specs compare.

Only the Airthings 2989 View Radon, since it connects over Wi-Fi in addition to Bluetooth and can send alerts and reports remotely. The Aranet Radiation is Bluetooth-only, so you check it from the app nearby or route it through Home Assistant.

Choose it if radon is your concern and you want hands-off, remote monitoring with Wi-Fi alerts. It also brings a longer warranty and support for Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT.

Choose it only if background ionizing radiation, not radon, is what you want to monitor continuously. Its lower price, higher owner rating and longer battery life do not change that it cannot detect radon at all.
