10' x 12' vs. 12' x 16' Louvered Pergola
The 12' x 16' pergola is larger on both roof dimensions and states 192 sq ft of adjustable coverage with a concealed gutter system; the 10' x 12' pergola states a snow-load rating the larger one doesn't repeat, and includes curtains and netting in its own feature text.

What actually differs
Footprint is the clearest difference - the 12' x 16' pergola is larger on both roof dimensions and is the only one to state a specific coverage area (192 sq ft). It's also the only one describing two independently adjustable roof sections rather than one. The 10' x 12' pergola is the only one of the two with a published snow-load figure; the larger pergola's own listing doesn't repeat one, which this site shows as published, not assumed equal.
What neither one publishes
Neither pergola states the distance between its own support posts - both sizing figures above are the outer roof footprint. See pergola roof size vs. usable space before assuming either one's full footprint is usable floor.
Which one actually helps
The 12' x 16' pergola suits a larger patio and a preference for a stated coverage figure and independently zoned roof sections. The 10' x 12' pergola suits a tighter footprint and a published snow-load rating, useful in a climate where that matters.
