Brookvent Configurator
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Brookvent Configurator application is designed to support CSR NFC ventilation controllers from Brookvent. Thanks to the application, controller parameters, time and current status can be easily and intuitively set, checked and verified, without having to open the device housing. This is all thanks to the use of NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, which communicates wirelessly with the device. The use of NFC makes it much easier to set parameters and shortens the maintenance and service time of devices. Setting parameters (apart from viewing the clock and parameters) is also possible when the device is turned off or even packed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brookvent Configurator at none against Model Paints's 2. Brookvent Configurator also leads on ads (none vs shown). Model Paints's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
