The membrane solutions uses a membrane instead of iodine. Their membrane is 0.1 microns, which will filter many of not all bacteria. The good thing about a membrane is that it uses pressure to filter particles and bacteria. The bad thing about a membrane is that the more it filters, the harder it will get to suck and filter water. I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing because that's a good indicator that you need a replacement. Membranes last 1-2 years with water exposure. So I'm sure you can use these for multiple trips in between months.
Overall, they take the same approach with cleaning water and use the same technology in a can. Depending on the water source, you can clog these things real fast, which is what they're supposed to do. While they advertise 1k gallons on most of these. I would probably replace them on 100-200 gallons depending where I'm drinking water from.
