Who should buy which
First-time red light therapy buyers testing the habit, budget-constrained users, or anyone who wants a basic supplemental panel without committing to premium specs.
You're committed to red light therapy long-term (the upgrade path makes Mito Red MitoPRO 1500 or Joovv Solo the better pick), or you specifically need verified clinical irradiance.
Entry-tier buyers committing to red light therapy who want Joovv's modular upgrade path and FDA Class II registration, planning to expand to Duo / Max / Quad / Elite over time.
You want maximum spec-per-dollar (Mito Red MitoPRO 1500 at $999 wins on irradiance per dollar), or you want full-body coverage immediately in a single session (jump straight to Duo, Max, Quad, or Elite).
