Price Comparison
Comparing energy gel prices isn’t straight forward for several factors:
- pack sizes range from 70 to 160 calories
- price paid is often below suggested retail price (MSRP)
- box pricing is often much lower than buying a single packet
For comparison purposes, we have included three factors in the chart below:
cost per box of 24
Most gels are available in 24 count boxes. For those that are not (some are 12 or 20), we adjust accordingly. The price that we use is the discounted price when buying direct from the manufacturer’s website when ever possible.
