PowerMat's resonance charging supports multiple devices on one charging matt, whereas Qi uses inductive charging which require more precise placement to charge.

PowerMat's resonance charging supports multiple devices on one charging matt, whereas Qi uses inductive charging which require more precise placement to charge. I think Qi may have resonant charging solutions coming up or out now, but you can see the better experience in a place like Startbucks would be resonance charging. It's much closer to don't-make-me-think.

Both PowerMat and Qi use inductive charging[0][1]. There are some technical differences, but the two are separated more by licensing and legal/political reasons than by actual underlying functionality and technology.
