Airthings View Plus vs Airthings Wave Plus

The Airthings View Plus wins overall on battery life, connectivity, display and sensor count. It adds Wi-Fi, an e-ink screen and a PM2.5 particulate sensor to the shared radon, CO2, VOC, temperature, humidity and pressure lineup. The Airthings Wave Plus is cheaper and slightly better rated, but it is Bluetooth-only with no display or particulate sensing.

Wi-Fi, a display and one extra sensor. The Airthings View Plus adds Wi-Fi for remote access, a 2.9-inch e-ink screen and PM2.5 particulate sensing. The Airthings Wave Plus covers the same core six sensors (radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity, pressure) but is Bluetooth-only and has no screen, so it needs an Airthings hub for continuous remote data.

No. The Airthings Wave Plus is Bluetooth-only and has no on-device screen, so it records and syncs when you open the app nearby and needs an Airthings hub for anywhere access. The Airthings View Plus adds both Wi-Fi and a 2.9-inch e-ink display for remote, at-a-glance readings.

Only the Airthings View Plus measures PM2.5 particulates, giving it seven sensors in total. The Airthings Wave Plus has the same radon, CO2, VOC, temperature, humidity and pressure sensors but leaves out particulate sensing, so choose the View Plus if PM2.5 matters to you.

Buy the Airthings View Plus if you want the most complete Airthings monitor: radon plus CO2, VOCs and PM2.5 particulates, with Wi-Fi for remote access, an e-ink display and longer battery life. It suits serious air quality tracking and whole-home setups and can act as a hub for Wave sensors.

Buy the Airthings Wave Plus if you want radon plus CO2, VOCs and the basics in one unit for less, and you do not need particulate sensing, a display or built-in Wi-Fi. It is a well-liked, more affordable six-sensor monitor, though you will want an Airthings hub for continuous remote data.
