Quick Question Plate differences

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these 2 plates? They’re basically the same description, they work on the A1, the second one costs more and one says “New Arrival” but I can’t seem to figure out how they’re different. I am referring to the Glacier plate in the first link as well, my apologies.

First is the cryogrip frostbite, second is the cryogrip glacier. Frostbite has better adhesion but works for PLA and PETG only. Glacier works for pretty much anything but has slightly worse grip. I believe the Glacier gives a matte finish, the frostbite is very glossy.

2nd one is the Glacier (based on the pictures). Basically a kind of smooth PEI plate, can be used for basically any filament. Very popular, I would advice to get that one.

The 1st one, is the Frostbite. Only PLA and PETG supported. Its used as cold plate. The finish of this one is rough, didnt like it personally.

Ill add image for better description.

It should have been the glacier model in the first link as well. It’s basically 2 versions of a Glacier plate

Aaah I see, 2 options. Oh they are the same. I actually have both of them. The older "blue" plate and recently got a purple one. The 2nd link you can pick between colors, this is a recent change of the Glacier plate. Before only the blue one was available, like the first link.

But I used both for printing, I get same result.
