Pros and cons
Myprotein
Pros
- Price per serving of £1.10 puts it at 10 of 46 brands on cost per scoop, the strongest ranking in the set.
- The catalogue covers whey protein, plant protein and creatine, so creatine, pre-workout, electrolytes and meal replacement sit in the same basket as protein.
- The Impact Whey range carries 40 flavours, which cuts the odds of a repeat order going to waste.
Cons
- Entry price of £32.99 ranks 44 of 66 brands, so the headline figure is not the cheapest on the market.
- The range is certified to Informed Sport only, with no organic or GMP certification listed, while 24.8% of brands compared carry organic.
- Protein per serving of 22 to 23 g sits just under the 24 median across protein powder brands.
Protein Works
Pros
- Covers a wide list of categories in multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, from multivitamins to electrolytes.
- Entry point of £8.99 with a per serving cost of £0.15, ranked 15 of 121 brands on price per serving.
- The range suits different diets, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options on the multivitamin formula.
Cons
- Delivery covers GB, IE and FR, which is a narrower set of markets than some pharmacy-led rivals.
- The range carries 8 flavours on its whey protein line, but the entry pricing and per serving cost come from the multivitamin product.
- The £8.99 entry price ranks 23 of 157 brands, so the price on the front of the pack sits mid-table.

Questions about each
Myprotein
How much does Myprotein protein cost per serving?+
The Impact Whey range works out at £1.10 per serving, and each serving carries 22 to 23 g of protein. On cost per scoop that places Myprotein at 10 of 46 brands compared, which is the figure to watch if you order regularly.
Is the entry price on Myprotein the cheapest?+
The range starts at £32.99, and on that headline figure Myprotein ranks 44 of 66 brands compared. Cheaper entry prices exist in this category, so the first order is not where Myprotein leads. Its strength is the per serving cost that follows.
Protein Works
How much does Protein Works cost to start?+
The entry price is £8.99 for the multivitamin product. The same product works out at £0.15 per serving, so a larger pack lowers the cost per serving. The per serving figure ranks 15 of 121 brands in this category.
Is there a discount for ordering repeatedly?+
Yes, subscriptions carry a 15% discount against the entry price of £8.99. The discount applies to repeat orders rather than the first purchase, so it only shows on the ongoing cost. Orders placed on a subscription continue until you change them.
