How does Hashrate House compare with Heatbit and Braiins?

Short answer

They solve different problems. Heatbit makes plug-in heaters that mine, sized to warm a room, plus a water heater element on preorder. Braiins makes mining software, a mining pool, and a 40 W desktop miner for solo mining that isn't a heater. Hashrate House makes 4 to 5 kW liquid-cooled systems that heat a home's hot water, floors, or a hot tub on a 240V circuit.

All three let you mine bitcoin at home. The real differences are how much heat you get, where it goes, and how the system installs. Competitor figures below are as their makers list them, checked in November 2026.

Which fits?

  • To warm one room with a plug-in heater: Heatbit's room heaters are built for that. Heatbit listed its room heaters as sold out for the season when we checked.
  • To solo mine on your desk for very little power: the Braiins Mini Miner. Braiins OS and Braiins Pool are software and a pool for miners you already own.
  • To heat your hot water, floors, or a hot tub with several kilowatts of heat: Hashrate House. The Aqueon and HashTub make roughly three times the heat of a 1,500 W room heater and many times the hashrate of a small heater or desk miner, and they need a 240V circuit to do it.
