Higher pressure means a bigger compressor, more hardware and, usually, steel. The Skybaric Go comes first because it reaches 1.5 ATA for $11,999 with oxygen and shipping included. The Skybaric Pro is the cheapest way to 2.0 ATA, and the OHS 36-inch the roomiest steel option.
Pressure is a specification here, not a promise. None of these chambers states FDA clearance for the chamber itself; ask your doctor which pressure, if any, suits you.
