Vegan Protein Price Tracker: What 20 Grams Really Costs

By Captain Vegan · Prices update automatically every 8 hours

Tub prices lie. A cheap tub with skimpy scoops can cost more per gram than a pricey one with big ones. So every 8 hours we pull the Amazon price of each powder in our top 10 and do the math nobody prints on the label: cost per serving, cost per 20 grams of protein, and how today’s price stacks up against the last 30 days.

How the Math Works

  • Price: the Amazon price for the exact flavor and tub size we link, pulled through Amazon’s official product API every 8 hours. We don’t type prices by hand.
  • Per serving: price ÷ servings per tub, using the serving count printed on the label.
  • Per 20 g of protein: cost per serving × 20 ÷ grams of protein per serving (also from the label).
  • 30-day low and trend: from our own daily price log, which starts November 3, 2026, so the trend lines get longer every day.
  • What’s tracked: the 10 powders in our top 10, each in the size we recommend. Bigger tubs are often cheaper per gram, so check the size options on Amazon.

Quick Questions

Which vegan protein powder is cheapest per gram of protein?

The table is sorted by it: the top row is the cheapest per 20 g of protein right now. It can change with a sale, so check back or bookmark this page.

Why compare per 20 grams of protein instead of per tub?

Because tubs, scoops and protein per scoop all differ. Twenty grams is about one scoop for most powders in our top 10, so it puts every tub on the same scale.

Do these prices include shipping, tax or Subscribe & Save?

No. It’s the main Amazon price for the exact flavor and size we link, before tax, shipping, coupons or subscription discounts. The price at checkout is the one you pay.

How is this different from the Value score in your rankings?

Same math, different clock. The Value score uses the price on our scoring date (November 4, 2026) so the rankings don’t jump around with every sale. This page shows the price right now.

Can I use this data?

Yes. Quote it, chart it, argue with it. Just link back to this page. The full price history is free to download as JSON.

Cheap Isn’t Everything

Price is one of four things we score. A powder can be cheap per gram and still lose points on purity or taste. See the full top 10, the scoring formula, or our best budget powders.
