Pros and cons
Arrival Creatine
Pros
- Third-party tested, which most creatine brands in this ranking do not state
- Vegan and organic credentials, unusual for a creatine monohydrate tub
- Serving cost of $1.50 sits high in the creatine and pre-workout ranking
Cons
- Support runs on email only, with no chat or phone listed
- Product types cover creatine, so protein, pre-workout and electrolytes have to come from elsewhere
- Protein per serving is 0 g, so the tub is a standalone supplement rather than a protein source
ShakePlease
Pros
- Each serving carries 24 to 33 g, above the 20.25 lower quartile and the 24 median across the brands compared.
- The powder is third-party tested and produced to gmp standards, which removes the usual doubt about what sits in the blend.
- Subscriptions take 15% off, so the collagen plan's cost of $1.27 per serving drops for anyone ordering again.
Cons
- Only collagen appears in the range, where docmorris lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 and life-extension lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, so ShakePlease suits a narrow goal rather than a full supplement order.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone line among those channels for anyone who would rather talk it through.
- Selling is limited to US, so buyers elsewhere need a brand that already ships to them.
Who each suits
Arrival Creatine
Who it suits
- Lifters who want one ingredient and third-party testing rather than a blended formula
- Vegan and organic buyers who read certification labels before buying
- US shoppers who would rather subscribe and pay less per order than buy a tub outright
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants pre-workout, electrolytes or protein from the same brand, since Body Attack covers all of them and Nuun covers electrolytes
- Buyers who want a choice of flavours, as Arrival Creatine lists 1 flavour
- People who want phone or chat support, since Arrival Creatine offers email only
ShakePlease
Who it suits
- Adults in the US who want collagen and protein in the same serving, at 24 to 33 g per scoop.
- People who will reorder and can sit on a subscription to take 15% off each order.
- Shoppers who want third-party testing and a 30 day window before committing to a full pouch.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone building a wider supplement order: docmorris lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 and apotek-hjartat lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 alongside collagen.
- Shoppers who want a longer catalog to browse: life-extension lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, which is a different shopping experience from a specialist.
- Buyers outside the US, since US is the only market listed, and anyone who needs a phone line, since support runs on email, chat and help centre.

Questions about each
Arrival Creatine
How much does Arrival Creatine cost to start?+
The tub is priced from $44.99, which is the first order rather than a subscription order. On a per-serving basis it works out at $1.50. If you subscribe, the discount of 15% to 26% applies to repeat deliveries and brings the per-order cost down.
Is Arrival Creatine third-party tested?+
Yes, the creatine is third-party tested, and the certifications listed are vegan and organic. That combination is the main quality argument for the brand, and it is stated on the product listing rather than inferred from the ingredients.
ShakePlease
How much does a ShakePlease order cost to start?+
The collagen plan lists an entry price of $38.24, which works out at $1.27 per serving across the pouch. On cost per serving ShakePlease ranks 67 of 121, so the running cost sits closer to the middle of the market than the ticket price does.
What does a ShakePlease subscription save?+
Subscriptions take 15% off, so the same collagen plan costs less each time it repeats. That suits anyone already sure about the taste and format, and suits a cautious first trial less well. A 30 day money-back window buys some room to decide before the next order goes out.
