Short answer: Omlet Eglu Cube wins this one, 9.2/10 against 9.1/10. Omlet Eglu Pro does not lead on any criterion we score.
What really separates them?
Same maker, same insulated plastic, same locks, same 10-year warranty and 180 days of free returns. The $960 between them buys length: the Pro's house has 16.7 sq ft of floor against 10, two droppings trays instead of one and back panels that lift out. At Omlet's own headcounts (6 and 10 large hens) each hen gets the same 1.7 sq ft, so neither is roomier per bird. Count your hens: six or fewer, the Cube; more, or more next year, the Pro.

How many hens does each one really hold?
Omlet Eglu Cube: up to 6 large hens, 8 medium breeds or 10 bantams (Omlet); house of 10 sq ft, so 3 hens at 3 sq ft each. Omlet Eglu Pro: 10 large hens or 15 small ones (Omlet); house of 16.7 sq ft, so 5 hens at 3 sq ft each. The brand's number counts hens that sleep inside and spend the day in a run. The 3 sq ft figure is the minimum indoor space extension services publish for birds that also sit out bad weather in the house. See how big a chicken coop should be.
Which one keeps predators out better?
Omlet Eglu Cube: two-step push-and-twist locks on the back door and the egg port; the steel weld-mesh run with its anti-dig skirt comes with the run option. Omlet Eglu Pro: two-step locks ("anti-raccoon handles"); weld-mesh run with tighter mesh low down and an anti-tunnel skirt when you add the run. We count four protections a brand can publish: locking latches, welded mesh or hardware cloth, a barrier against digging, and a closed house raised off the ground. No coop is predator proof without a door shut at dusk.

Omlet Eglu Pro: two removable trays, removable back panels, smooth wipe-clean surfaces: "deep clean in under 10 minutes" (Omlet); 2 inches of insulation, adjustable ventilation, LuxPanel that lets daylight in.
