Airthings View Plus vs GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor

The Airthings View Plus is the stronger overall pick, thanks to a much wider sensor set (radon, PM2.5, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure), more connectivity options, broader smart home integrations and a longer warranty. The GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor holds a higher owner rating and is the more affordable of the two.

Sensor breadth. The Airthings View Plus measures seven things: radon, PM2.5 particulates, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure. The GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor measures three: PM2.5 particulates, temperature and humidity. If you want a complete indoor air picture including radon and CO2, the View Plus covers far more ground.

The Airthings View Plus connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and can also act as a SmartLink hub for other Airthings sensors. The GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only, without any hub capability.

Yes. The Airthings View Plus uses a low-power e-ink display sized around 2.9 inches, while the GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor uses a smaller LED screen. Both let you glance at readings without opening the app.

Choose it if you want the most complete air quality picture available, covering radon, CO2, VOCs and particulates in one device, along with Wi-Fi access, a longer warranty and wider smart home support. It suits whole-home setups and anyone serious about indoor air.

Choose it if PM2.5, temperature and humidity are all you need to track, and you would rather pay less and enjoy a higher owner rating. It works with Alexa and, via Bluetooth, with Home Assistant.
