Our verdict on each
Vital Proteins
Vital Proteins suits anyone who wants a collagen-led range from a young US brand now owned by a large food group, and who will pay more per serving than most rivals for the same shelf space. It scores 9 overall, with a 68 place on starting price across the brands we price.
WeightWorld
WeightWorld suits lifters who want a cheap creatine tub and a wider sports-nutrition order in one place, with prices from €24.99 and a serving cost of €0.28. It is a broad shop rather than a specialist, so check the subscription rate before you commit.

Pros and cons
Vital Proteins
Pros
- Certifications are on the record: nsf and gmp covers its manufacturing standards.
- Support runs on email, phone and chat, so help is reachable by more than one route.
- Returns are straightforward with 30 days on the money-back window.
Cons
- The third-party tested answer is no, and the certifications on record, nsf and gmp, cover manufacturing standards instead.
- The range is narrow at collagen, greens and probiotics, where DocMorris carries multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 and Apotek Hjartat carries multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- The collagen range lists 1 flavour, which limits choice for anyone sensitive to taste.
WeightWorld
Pros
- Serving cost of €0.28 puts WeightWorld at 1 of 46 brands compared on price per serving
- Entry price of €24.99 keeps the first order modest while the subscription rate of 10% trims repeat buys
- Range covers creatine, pre workout and electrolytes, wider than Nuun at electrolytes and CON-CR?T Creatine at creatine, electrolytes and pre workout
Cons
- Entry price of €24.99 places WeightWorld at 22 of 66 brands compared, well away from its per-serving value
- Creatine monohydrate comes in 1 flavour, so there is little choice for anyone who wants a flavoured powder
- Sells in Ireland, GB and FR, and that catalogue is narrower than Body Attack at whey protein, plant protein and creatine
Who each suits
Vital Proteins
Who it suits
- US buyers who want collagen, greens and probiotics under one brand name
- People who prioritise certification and a clear returns window over the lowest per serving cost
- Shoppers who want a young company with a named parent behind it
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want a wide vitamin and mineral range, where DocMorris and Apotek Hjartat both cover far more categories
- Anyone who needs independent batch testing on the label
- Shoppers outside the US looking for a local market
WeightWorld
Who it suits
- Lifters buying creatine monohydrate on a tight per-serving budget
- People in Ireland, GB and FR who want one shop for creatine, pre-workout and electrolytes
- Vegetarians and vegans shopping vegan, vegetarian and keto products with gmp and vegan
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want the widest sports-nutrition catalogue, since Body Attack carries whey protein, plant protein and creatine
- People who want electrolyte tablets from a single-purpose line, as Nuun carries electrolytes
- Shoppers who prefer a smaller creatine and pre-workout line, since CON-CR?T Creatine lists creatine, electrolytes and pre workout

Questions about each
Vital Proteins
How much does Vital Proteins cost to start?+
The entry price is $29.99, taken from the collagen peptides rather than from a bundle. Once you are ordering, the number that matters is $2.31 per serving. There is no membership needed to reach either figure.
Does a Vital Proteins subscription cost less?+
Yes, a subscription takes 15% off the ongoing cost. That discount applies for as long as you keep the subscription running, so the renewal price is lower than the one-off price but still recurring. Cancel and the one-off $2.31 per serving applies instead.
WeightWorld
How much does WeightWorld creatine cost per serving?+
Creatine monohydrate is priced at €24.99 to start, and each serving works out at €0.28. That per-serving figure is what puts the brand at position 1 of 46 brands compared in the creatine and pre-workout group, so the serving cost matters more here than the tub size.
Is the first order the cheapest price?+
Not really. On price from, WeightWorld ranks 22 of 66 brands compared, so the entry figure is ordinary for the group. The value sits in the running cost of €0.28 a serving rather than in the opening price, so weigh the two before ordering.
