How do I use the protein cost comparison tool?

Select your market (US or UAE), then choose two products from the dropdown menus. The tool will display side-by-side metrics including price per 100g protein, calories per 100g, and total protein content.

What metrics are compared?

The tool compares container price, price per 100g of protein, calories per 100g of protein, total protein in the container, and number of servings. It also calculates the annual cost difference.

Which product is the better value?

The product with the lower price per 100g protein offers better value. The tool highlights the winner with a green checkmark and shows the price gap.

Protein Powder Cost Comparison Tool

Compare any two protein powders side-by-side to see which offers better value. Uses live data from 108 products across US and UAE markets.

How Do I Compare Two Protein Powders?

Select your market and choose two products from the dropdown menus. The tool shows price per 100g protein, calories per 100g, and calculates annual cost difference. The product with the lower price per 100g protein is highlighted as the better value.

Container price can be misleading—two $40 tubs might contain vastly different amounts of actual protein. This tool reveals the true cost by comparing price per 100g of active protein.

How to Interpret the Results

Look at 'Price per 100g Protein'—lower is better. This is the true cost metric. The tool also shows calories per 100g (lower = more efficient) and annual cost difference if you use one container per year.

The comparison highlights which product offers better value with a green checkmark. The difference section shows exactly how much more or less you'd pay annually.

Key Metrics Explained

Price per 100g Protein: The true cost metric. Lower means you pay less for actual protein content.
Calories per 100g Protein: Measures purity. 400 = pure protein (no fillers). Lower = more calories from fillers.
Total Protein: How much protein is in the entire container.
Annual Cost Difference: If you consume one container per year, this shows your yearly savings (or extra cost).

Why Price Per 100g Protein Matters

Protein powders vary widely in serving size, protein concentration, and container weight. A "cheaper" tub might actually cost more per gram of protein once you account for these differences.

For example, a $40 tub with 750g of protein costs $5.33 per 100g protein, while a $35 tub with only 500g of protein costs $7.00 per 100g protein—31% more expensive per unit.
