What separates these two
- CapacityThe Jackery states 99 Wh (Nameplate capacity The capacity printed on the box, in watt-hours (Wh): what the battery holds when new. You get less out of it in use, because the station keeps some back to protect the battery and loses some turning it into 240 V or 12 V power.); the BLUETTI states 128 Wh (nameplate), 29% more.This means the BLUETTI holds more energy, so it can run the same things for longer before it needs charging.

- Cycle lifeThe Jackery states 2,000 cycles (until 80% of the original capacity is left); the BLUETTI states at least 3,000 cycles (until 80% of the original capacity is left), 1.5 times as many.This means the BLUETTI is rated for more full charges before its battery wears down to that level.

Price and price per Wh aren't compared here yet. That needs a second shop selling each one for about the same price (within 10%), which shows the price is real. Today: price, BLUETTI $249 and Jackery $169; price per Wh, BLUETTI 194.5¢ and Jackery 170.7¢.
Can't be compared The two brands give this figure in different ways, or only one brand gives it. For example, one counts battery charges until 80% of the capacity is left and the other until 70%. Set side by side, the numbers would mislead, so both are shown and neither is put ahead.
- AC output, non-stopThe BLUETTI states 200 W (Continuous output The power the station can supply non-stop. This is the figure that decides which appliances it can run, like a 1,000 W microwave.). The brand doesn't give this figure for the Jackery.This means the two can't be compared on this until both brands publish it.

Capacity is the nameplate figure in watt-hours (Wh), the one on the box. AC output is the power a station can supply non-stop, not a short burst. Weight is the station on its own. A figure measured another way is shown with a note saying how, and isn't compared with the others.
