Pairs a 33 lb platform with a small scale for tiny amounts.
Seven units and two platforms with independent tare.
Two platforms with 0.1 g readability and a custom measuring dish.

Batch pizza preparation means weighing flour, water, salt and yeast in large amounts, often across several dough balls at once. The Bonvoisin publishes the largest capacity here at 66 lb with 1 g readability. The ApeWeghr and KKZ each pair a large platform with a small one for yeast and salt. The Yamato publishes a 12 lb 8 oz capacity with a 1 inch character display. The ooni measures to a tenth of a gram on two platforms. Capacity and readability decide the choice.
“Capacity and readability decide the choice for batch dough.”

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.
Batch pizza preparation changes the choice because the amounts are large. A single dough batch can call for several pounds of flour, so the published maximum capacity is the first figure to check. The Bonvoisin publishes 66 lb, the largest here. The ApeWeghr publishes 33 lb on its large platform. The Yamato publishes 12 lb 8 oz, the smallest of the five. Readability runs the other way: the ooni publishes 0.1 g, while the Bonvoisin publishes 1 g.
The second figure is readability, because yeast and salt are weighed in tiny amounts even in a large batch. The ooni publishes a tenth of a gram. The ApeWeghr and KKZ each pair a large platform with a small one, so one device covers both ends of the range. The Yamato publishes a 1 inch character display and a 12 lb 8 oz capacity, with no small platform stated.

The table does not tell you how any scale performs in use. It records what each maker publishes. Several cells read not published, and those gaps are real: Bonvoisin states no dimensions, ApeWeghr states no height, KKZ states no weight, and Yamato states no readability figure. A missing figure is not a zero.
The Bonvoisin publishes 66 lb, the largest capacity of the five. That figure sets the upper bound on how much dough one weighing session can cover. It also publishes a minimum weighing capacity of 5 g and a readability of 1 g. For a batch that runs to many pounds of flour, the maximum matters more than the minimum.
The ApeWeghr publishes 33 lb on its large platform, half the Bonvoisin figure. Its small platform handles the yeast and salt. The KKZ publishes 15 kg on its large platform, which is close to the ApeWeghr figure. The Yamato publishes 12 lb 8 oz, the smallest maximum here, and the ooni does not publish a capacity figure at all.
A batch recipe still calls for small amounts of yeast and salt. The ooni publishes 0.1 g readability, the finest figure stated here. It also publishes a custom fit measuring dish for yeast or herbs. The ApeWeghr publishes 0.1 oz accuracy on its large platform and a small platform for finer work.
The KKZ publishes 0.03 oz accuracy on its large platform and a small gram scale from 0.01 g to 500 g. The Bonvoisin publishes 1 g readability, which is coarser than the dual platform models for small additions. The Yamato publishes no readability figure, so that comparison cannot be made.
The Bonvoisin publishes a percentage weighing function, which lets you work from ratios rather than calculating gram weights for each ingredient. The BOMATA also publishes a percentage function. Neither the ApeWeghr, the KKZ, the ooni nor the Yamato publishes this function.
Unit switching matters when a recipe mixes grams and ounces. The Bonvoisin publishes 9 units. The ApeWeghr and KKZ each publish 7 units, including milk milliliters. The ooni and Yamato do not publish a unit list. More published units mean less mental conversion during prep.
Tare subtracts the weight of a bowl so only the ingredients count. The Bonvoisin, ApeWeghr, KKZ and BOMATA all publish a tare function. The Yamato publishes a quick disconnect foot tare. The ApeWeghr and KKZ also publish a totalize or accumulation function, which sums successive additions.
Display design affects use with large bowls. The Bonvoisin publishes a slightly tilted display so readings stay visible. The KKZ publishes a display set off to the side so the readout is not blocked. The Yamato publishes a 1 inch character display. The ooni publishes two LCD displays that read both platforms at once.
Large batch baker. The Bonvoisin publishes 66 lb capacity with 1 g readability and a percentage function. It suits mixing several dough balls at once where the total weight of flour and water is high.
Baker weighing bulk and yeast on one device. The ApeWeghr publishes a 33 lb platform and a small platform, with tare and totalize. It covers both ends of a batch recipe without a second scale.
Baker who wants unit flexibility. The KKZ publishes 7 units and two platforms with independent tare. Its 1.1 inch profile and 9.45 by 6.3 inch footprint suit a counter with limited space.
Baker weighing tiny amounts. The ooni publishes 0.1 g readability and a custom fit measuring dish for yeast. It suits recipes where salt and yeast are weighed to a tenth of a gram.
Baker who wants a hands free readout. The Yamato publishes a 12 lb 8 oz capacity, a 1 inch character display and a quick disconnect foot tare. It suits a fixed station where the display is read at a distance.
Several figures are absent from the listings. These are the gaps.
It depends on your batch size. The Bonvoisin publishes 66 lb, the largest here. The Yamato publishes 12 lb 8 oz, the smallest of the five. The ApeWeghr publishes 33 lb on its large platform. Match the published maximum to the total weight of flour, water and other ingredients in one mixing session.
Yeast and salt are used in small amounts, so a scale that reads to a tenth of a gram lets you weigh them directly. The ooni publishes 0.1 g readability. The Bonvoisin publishes 1 g. The ApeWeghr and KKZ each pair a large platform with a small one for these small additions.
It lets you work from ratios rather than gram weights. The Bonvoisin and BOMATA publish this function. You set the flour as 100 percent and add other ingredients by percentage, which avoids recalculating a recipe when you change the batch size.
The Bonvoisin, ApeWeghr, KKZ and BOMATA all publish a tare function. The Yamato publishes a quick disconnect foot tare. Tare subtracts the weight of a bowl or container so only the ingredients are counted.
Several listings name sourdough. The Bonvoisin title names sourdough bread making. The ApeWeghr title names sourdough bread, baking and cooking. The KKZ and BOMATA publish functions suited to bread baking, including percentage and hold functions.
Bonvoisin does not publish dimensions. ApeWeghr does not publish height. KKZ does not publish weight. Edlund does not publish a weight. Yamato does not publish a readability figure. Where a maker states nothing, this guide says so rather than filling the gap.
