UniFi AP Compare

Side-by-side RF comparison for every UniFi access point - EIRP, antenna gain, TX power, speeds, and port configs.

Open the app

Why This Exists

Ubiquiti's store lets you compare APs, but you cannot compare EIRP (TX power + antenna gain) across models - the number that actually matters for coverage planning. This tool solves that by calculating and displaying EIRP prominently for every UniFi AP.

It also handles things the store can't:

  • Multiple discrete antenna configurations per model (omni vs directional)
  • Gateway devices with built-in radios (Dream Router, Express, etc.) compared directly against standalone APs
  • US vs EU regulatory domain filtering that adjusts all RF values

Features

  • EIRP front-and-center - calculated per band, displayed in dBm and mW with visual comparison bars
  • Side-by-side comparison of 2-6 APs with best-in-class highlighting
  • Market selector (US/EU) that adjusts TX power and EIRP to regulatory limits
  • Rich filtering - by band, Wi-Fi generation, form factor, device type, environment
  • Card grid + table view for different workflows
  • Shareable URLs - filter/sort/comparison state encoded in query params
  • Mobile-first responsive design - usable on-site from your phone
  • Dark theme matching the UniFi ecosystem aesthetic

Data Source

Data is fetched live from Ubiquiti's public product catalog (static.ui.com/fingerprint/ui/public.json). No API key needed. Falls back to a bundled snapshot if the live fetch fails. The snapshot is refreshed weekly via GitHub Actions.

Run Locally

npm install
npm run dev

Refresh Catalog Data

npm run fetch-data
