The job: charging a phone by setting it down, without a cable to find.
A wireless charger trades a cable for a coil. The phone sits on the pad, the two coils line up, and power crosses the gap. The lining up is the hard part, which is why the magnetic pads on this page exist: the magnets do the alignment so the coil does not have to be found by feel in the dark.
Most listings in this category state no wattage at all, and the ones that do are stating what the pad can offer, not what a phone will accept. A wireless charge also depends on the wall block feeding the pad, the case between pad and phone, and the phone deciding how warm it is willing to get.
The stands that hold a phone, a watch and earbuds at once are the multi-port chargers of this world. One wall block feeds three spots, so any figure is a total shared three ways. They are sorted below by how directly the listing answers the wattage question, and then by how many devices they cover.

What to look for
Why it matters
Stated wattage
A number for the pad, and ideally a number for each spot on a stand
Most wireless listings state nothing. A stated figure is the only thing that lets two pads be compared on paper.
Magnets
"MagSafe", "MagSafe compatible" or "magnetic" in the title
Magnets align the coils. Without them, a phone set down slightly off centre charges slowly or not at all.
Wall block
Whether a block ships with the pad, and its wattage
The pad cannot offer more than the block feeds it. A pad with no block relies on whatever you already own.
Device spots
How many devices the stand holds, and which ones
A 3-in-1 stand only earns its space if you own all three devices. Every spot shares one wall block.
Case thickness
Whether your case has magnets and how thick it is
A thick or non-magnetic case widens the gap between the coils, and the charge slows or stops as the gap grows.
Magnetic pads
One flat pad with magnets that pull the phone into alignment. Simple, movable, and only as fast as the wall block behind it.

The only stated wattage
MagSafe 25W Magnetic Wireless Charging Pad
Magnetic pads
A single magnetic pad with a wattage in the title, which is rarer in this category than it should be. The 25W is the figure the pad is rated to offer; what a phone accepts wirelessly depends on the phone, the case between them and the wall block behind the pad, none of which the title covers. The magnets do the alignment, which is the part that makes wireless charging work at all.

Two magnetic pads in one box, with no wattage in the title. The pair is the point: one on the desk, one by the bed, and the phone snaps onto whichever is nearer. Without a stated figure there is nothing to compare against the 25W pad above, and the wall blocks behind them, which the listing does not mention, decide the speed anyway.

Three devices, one plug
3-in-1 Adjustable Magnetic Wireless Charger Stand for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods
Multi-device stands
A stand with a magnetic spot for the phone and separate spots for a watch and earbuds, taking one outlet for all three. The adjustable part is the phone mount angle, which matters if the phone doubles as a bedside clock. No wattage is stated, so the honest reading is that three devices share whatever the wall block behind the stand supplies.

GETPALS Wireless Charging Station for Multiple Apple Devices
Multi-device stands
A charging station named for multiple Apple devices, without saying in the title how many or at what wattage. That leaves two things to check on the listing itself before buying: which devices it has a spot for, and what wall block it expects. A station is a good way to tidy a nightstand, and a poor way to get a number you can compare.

Anlmz 3-in-1 Charging Station for Multiple Apple Devices
Multi-device stands
A 3-in-1 station for an Apple phone and two of its companions, with no wattage in the title. Three spots on one wall block is the same arithmetic as a multi-port charger: the total is shared, and without a stated total there is nothing to divide on paper. What it does promise is three devices on one outlet in one spot, which is a real convenience rather than a speed.

Questions that come up at the counter
Does a 25W pad charge my phone at 25W?
Not necessarily. The pad is rated to offer up to 25W. The phone takes what its own wireless charging allows, which for many phones is well below the figure on a third-party pad, and it slows further as it warms up.
Is "MagSafe compatible" the same as MagSafe?
No. Apple MagSafe is a certified system. "MagSafe compatible" on a third-party listing means the magnets are arranged to hold onto a MagSafe phone or case. It does not promise Apple certified charging speed.
Why does a 3-in-1 stand state no wattage?
Because three spots share one wall block and the split is rarely published. The honest answer is that a stand is bought for convenience, not for a number.
Do I need to buy a wall block separately?
Often. Many wireless chargers ship with a cable and no block, and the block decides the real output. Check the listing before assuming one is in the box.
Are the magnets a problem for a pacemaker?
Magnets in phones and accessories can affect implanted medical devices at close range. The FDA guidance is to keep such devices at least six inches away, and to talk to your doctor if you carry one.
