Pros and cons
HUM Nutrition

Questions about each
HUM Nutrition
What does HUM Nutrition cost to start?+
The entry point is $15 for the daily essentials, which places HUM Nutrition toward the cheaper end of the 157 brands tracked on starting price. Subscribers pay 30% less, so a plan is the cheaper route if you keep reordering.
What discount do I get on a subscription?+
Subscription customers save 30%. That is the main lever on cost, because the entry point of $15 is charged either way and the saving applies to the plan itself each time an order repeats.
Transparent Labs
How much does Transparent Labs cost to start?+
The range starts at $64.99, which ranks 57 of 66 brands in our price data. Ordering on a subscription reduces each delivery by 10%. Buyers who only want one tub pay the entry figure, while regular buyers pay less per order.
How much protein is in each serving?+
A serving carries 28 g of protein, which puts the range at 10 of 43 brands in our protein powders comparison. That is the strongest argument for the price, since cheaper options often give less protein per scoop.
