Profitability Comparison
Antminer AL1
Antminer S19 Pro+
Based on BTC price of $77,954 and current network difficulty as of May 16, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the Antminer S19 Pro+ edges it: 4 of 4 factors go its way (efficiency, hashrate, home mining score, price-performance). Where it pulls away hardest is 87% better efficiency (210.0 vs 28.0 J/TH). Cross-check the spec deltas and ROI table above against your own electricity rate before deciding.
Spec Deltas
The Antminer AL1 and Antminer S19 Pro+ diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":
- Antminer S19 Pro+ 650% more hashrate (16.0 vs 120.0 TH/s)
- Antminer S19 Pro+ 87% better efficiency (210.0 vs 28.0 J/TH)
- Antminer S19 Pro+ 1% better weight (14.5 vs 14.4 kg)
- Antminer S19 Pro+ 133% more home mining score (36.0 vs 84.0)
Cost & ROI Over Time
A miner pays for itself in profit, not specs. These projections track upfront cost against one, two and three years of net earnings at $0.10/kWh.
| Antminer AL1 | Metric | Antminer S19 Pro+ |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $3,000 |
| -$7.49 | Daily net profit | -$3.76 |
| -$12,734 | Net after 1 year | -$4,372 |
| -$15,468 | Net after 2 years | -$5,744 |
| -$18,202 | Net after 3 years | -$7,116 |
| Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) | Payback period | Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) |
Projections assume continuous operation, a flat $0.10/kWh rate, and no hardware degradation, pool fees, or BTC price change. Real-world ROI varies.
