The short version

  • Each has a real cost: ABC Fitness split across separate products by business type, so ABC Ignite, Glofox, Trainerize and Evo are different systems rather than tiers of one; LIFX the Internet Archive's capture of LIFX's products page on 19 July 2016 priced the White 800 bulb at $39.99 USD (890 lumens) and the Color 1000 bulb at $59.99 USD (1,055 lumens); this is a 2016 capture and current prices likely differ.
  • They diverge on capability: ABC Fitness covers Payment processing, LIFX covers No Hub Required.
