Pros and cons
Gruns
Pros
- Covers greens and vitamins minerals in one brand, so a daily routine does not need splitting across makers.
- Third-party testing is stated, and the products carry nsf and gmp certification.
- Subscription orders are reduced by 55%, which is the cheapest way to hold the daily price at $1.07 a serving.
Cons
- Gruns sells in US only, so buyers elsewhere cannot order from the brand directly.
- The subscription discount of 55% is tied to repeat orders, and the entry price of $29.99 is the figure at the top of the range.
- Product types cover greens and vitamins minerals, and a wider range sits at DocMorris, which lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
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
Gruns
Who it suits
- US adults who want greens and vitamins covered by a single daily subscription rather than separate products.
- Vegan shoppers and anyone avoiding gluten, as the range is vegan and gluten free.
- Readers who care about independent testing and named certification, since the products are third-party tested and carry nsf and gmp.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers outside the US, since Gruns operates in the United States only.
- Shoppers who want a single specific product such as omega-3, probiotics, collagen or electrolytes, which sit with DocMorris at multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- People who would rather test a men's health brand such as ProSolution Plus or TestRX, where vitamins minerals and vitamins minerals are the only listed types.
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
Gruns
How much does Gruns cost at the point of buying?+
The entry price is $29.99 across the collection. That is the figure a reader meets first when ordering. Once a routine is running, the cost that matters is the serving price of $1.07. Keep the two apart, since they are different numbers for different stages of buying.
What does a Gruns subscription cost over time?+
Repeat orders carry a discount of 55%, and that is the route that holds the serving price down. A one-off order pays the entry price of $29.99 instead, so the ongoing figure only applies on a schedule. A 30 day money back window gives a first order time to be judged.
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.
