Equal return window, different product model
Both publish free 30-day returns. Pair’s $80 Base Frame is designed to accept magnetic Top Frames, so later style changes do not require another prescription base. Warby Parker’s $95 start includes the prescription plus scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coatings.
Our decision
Pick Pair if the magnetic style system is the reason you are buying. Pick Warby Parker if you want stores, conventional frames and common coatings bundled into the starting price. The $15 starting gap is too small to decide this without considering the different product model.
