Pros and cons
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.
Transparent Labs
Pros
- Protein per serving of 28 g ranks 10 of 43 brands in our protein powders data
- Third-party tested products give buyers independent label checks before buying
- Category spread covers whey protein, plant protein, creatine, pre-workout, electrolytes, protein bars and mass gainer through whey protein, plant protein and creatine
Cons
- Entry price of $64.99 ranks 57 of 66 brands in our price data, so it is not the cheapest way in
- Serving cost of $1.33 on the multivitamin line sits above the €0 site median once a daily item is included
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line for questions about dosing or orders
Who each suits
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.
Transparent Labs
Who it suits
- Lifters chasing a high protein figure per serving rather than the lowest serving price
- Vegan shoppers, since the multivitamin line lists vegan in vegan and the protein range carries organic and vegan in organic and vegan
- Consumers in the US, GB, AU and CA who want one brand for protein, creatine and pre-workout
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget buyers comparing only entry price, where cheaper brands in our price ranking come first
- HUM Nutrition shoppers who only want plant protein and creatine and prefer a narrower range
- Anyone who needs meal replacement shakes, a category Body Attack lists and this range omits

Questions about each
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.
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.
