Compare UniFi switches with evidence
Filter an intentionally small, verified first-party specification catalog. Select up to four switches and compare their capabilities with explicit source dates. No live prices, stock claims or price-history estimates are shown.
Side-by-side comparison
Chosen models stay selected even when filtered out of the catalog.

Downloads contain only the selected, source-dated manufacturer specification snapshots and qualifications. Missing values remain unknown. No live price, stock, compatibility guarantee or customer data is included. JSON preserves original values; CSV is escaped for spreadsheet viewing.
Evidence, limitations and privacy
All visible numeric values are curated specification snapshots with source URLs and an explicit review date. They are not automatically synchronized with Ubiquiti. The comparison is generated locally in the browser. Missing values are not guesses; maximum copper speed does not describe every port.
This first milestone intentionally excludes price observations, in-stock assertions, product feeds, logins and price-alert subscriptions. Later price monitoring will store timestamped observations from authorized sources and maintain a source evidence log. PDF reports will use pdfcn, not an improvised renderer.
