So which brand?

Breadth vs focus — and the right answer depends on the shelf.

Go with Andar if…

…you want range and the safe default. It is in the mix and competes across 0 fields, so there's a fit for most needs.

Go with Gear4 if…

…you care about its focus. It plays fewer fields (0) but is hard to beat where it does compete.

We don’t crown a winner. Globally they may both be top-tier; locally, the category can flip the answer. Pick the brand that’s strong where you’re actually shopping — when a brand doesn’t compete in a category, we leave it blank rather than invent a rank.
