3. Convenience

Only P50 airbag reset tool is a portable Android tablet while the others should connect to a PC. That means Windows system tool depends on computers, which is better to work in shop. In contrast, OBDSTAR P50 can be used anywhere, easy to take along.

Conclusion

To sum up, OBDSTAR P50 is the most cost-efficient SRS tool. As P50 is newly released, it's more intelligent to have wider vehicle range in functions, supports all OBD or Bench methods to reset airbag. Plus steady updates & reasonable price, P50 wins on cost performance.

SMARTOBD CAN Tool is similar to OBDSTAR P50 in function and price, but differs in operating system. Thus, it's less convenient than P50. Also, it needs to pay for annual subscription fee for use. Otherwise, it won't work. View from this aspect, it's less good-value.
