Questions about each
Legion
What does Legion cost to start?+
Entry pricing starts at $48.99. That is the figure most buyers see first, and it places Legion at position 49 of 66 brands ranked on price from, so Legion does not compete at the cheapest end of the shelf.
What does one serving cost?+
A serving works out at $2.17, and that is where Legion reads better than its entry price suggests. It ranks position 29 of 46 brands on this measure, ahead of where it sits on price from.
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.
