Nēbu vs Pura: two different ways to scent a home
This isn't a like-for-like comparison, and the page says so up front. Pura is a smart plug-in: small 10 ml vials, gently warmed, controlled over Wi-Fi. Nēbu diffusers are cold-air nebulizers: undiluted oil turned into a dry mist with pressurized air, no heat, from a refillable reservoir. Which one is right depends on how much space you're scenting.

- You're scenting open-plan space or a whole home

Pura is the better fit if
- You're scenting one small room
- You want Wi-Fi, voice control and scent rotation
