The Pendant application enables anyone with a Pendant Device to transfer data over BLE connection. Once the device and app are connected through BLE, users can select and upload bio-resonance frequency programs from a list of over 1800 options. These programs are specifically designed for home treatment and follow a homeopathic approach, focusing on non-medical and non-professional therapies. The Pendant device, worn around the neck like a pendant, utilizes a frequency generator to provide bioresonance therapy. It operates independently with a built-in rechargeable battery. Programs can be loaded into the device via Bluetooth technology using our Pendant app. The app has all programs stored internally and helps users transfer them onto their Pendant Device. The app has a list of pre-designed programs for different conditions, and users can customize the program duration according to their needs. With the help of these programs, users can effectively manage their device and take care of their own well-being.
Lubb

Some nights are easier with another heartbeat in the bed, even one that's far away. Lubb plays a slow, gentle lub-dub through the Taptic Engine in your iPhone: a soft vibration under your pillow that feels like falling asleep on someone's chest. Fall asleep to Lubb's own heartbeat, to one someone sent you, or to each other's, wherever you both are. HOW IT WORKS 1. Slip your iPhone under the edge of your pillow 2. Hold the start button, and a slow heartbeat begins 3. Fall asleep to it, or to the heartbeat of someone you miss SOMEONE'S HEARTBEAT • Record yours in 45 seconds with a fingertip on the camera and send it as a link • Or send last night's heart rate from your Apple Watch, so the beat slows the way your heart did • Ask someone for theirs, for the nights you're apart TOGETHER, EVEN APART • The same beat: one heartbeat on both phones at the same moment. No Apple Watch needed • Each other's heart: you feel their heart rate and they feel yours, each from an Apple Watch THE FEELING • A realistic two-part beat: a soft swell and its answer, not a mechanical buzz • Tune how it lands, round or a little crisper, and how strong, since pillows soak up a lot • Choose the pace, 40 to 90 beats per minute. It begins a touch quicker and gently eases down • An optional low heartbeat sound, felt more than heard THE NIGHT • Your first night is whole: any length, until morning • So is your first night with each heartbeat or invitation someone sends you • After that, two minutes free, every night • Lubb Plus: 30-minute wind-downs, 2-hour deep starts, or the whole night • Ask Siri to start it, or let Sleep Focus start it the moment it turns on • The morning after a longer night: how long you took to fall asleep, from Apple Health APPLE WATCH AND WIDGETS • End the night from your wrist, or wind down with half an hour of light taps there • A Live Activity in the Smart Stack on your Apple Watch while the beat plays • Widgets show tonight's beat on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, never a heart rate HONESTLY • iPhone haptics only play while the app is open, so the screen stays on. It dims to near-black to protect your battery. Start the night charged. • Never charge the phone under a pillow. Lubb reminds you once. • Lubb needs an iPhone. The beat comes from the Taptic Engine, so it can't run on iPad or Mac. YOURS • No account, no ads. A heartbeat leaves your phone only in a link you choose to send, or, for each other's heart, as a heart rate sealed so even our server can't read it. • With your permission, Lubb reads heart rate and sleep from Apple Health on your phone. • Lubb Plus is a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase that is yours forever. The price in your currency is shown before you buy. Lubb is for comfort, not treatment. It isn't a medical device and doesn't diagnose, treat, or monitor any condition.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pendant at none against Lubb's 3. Pendant also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
