If you are choosing between Trigger and Hot Octopuss Pulse, the split is not branding. Trigger ($44.99) is foreplay and partner play, including nights when a ring is the wrong tool. Hot Octopuss Pulse (check the maker’s current listing) is men who want the Hot Octopuss pulse-plate specifically, including some ED use.
Neither page on the internet can wear the device for you. Fit, and whether a partner toy is actually your problem, decide more than the brand.

Trigger: partner stimulation via your hand. It is not a cock ring and it does not treat ED. Hot Octopuss Pulse: oscillating pulse plate. Can work with a partial erection, which is why ED roundups mention it.
Sizing
Trigger sizing: finger-worn. Hot Octopuss Pulse: sits on the penis, not a wand, not a ring.
Regulatory sticker
Neither is a registered medical device. Material, fit and the thirty-minute rule matter more than a marketplace badge.
