Compared to the competition, the new ZenPower is on the pricier side. Most quality power banks can do most of what the ZenPower can do at a more affordable price albeit without USB Type-C.
The key feature that may make you decide to get it is its small form factor and if you really need USB Type-C right now. Otherwise, we would wait for the competition.
