BPN vs Momentous creatine: which costs less per 5 g?
Before delivery, the cheapest Bare Performance Nutrition package is Creatine Monohydrate, Unflavored (300 g) at $0.583 per 5 g, and the cheapest Momentous package is Creatine Monohydrate, Unflavored (450 g) at $0.478. Those are different package sizes, so they are not a like-for-like comparison of the two brands. Where both sell the same size in the same format, the gap is below.
Every figure is per 5 g, computed from each product's own panel against the price. 2 of the 2 Bare Performance Nutrition packages and 3 of the 3 Momentous packages we track are named at the exact package by an NSF Certified for Sport listing; the listing number is beside each.

The same size, side by side
A package from one brand is only comparable to a package from the other when both hold the same number of labeled servings and come in the same format, so a tub is never set against stick packs. Where both match, here is what each costs.
| Servings | Bare Performance Nutrition | Momentous | Difference per 5 g |

Every other pair in the table above this one differs in package size or in format as well as in brand, so those rows are not a brand-to-brand comparison and nothing here reads them as one. Each brand sets its own price at each size, which is a fact about two companies and not something this page can explain.
What this does not compare
Purity, taste, how the powder mixes, or anything a label does not state. Both brands are priced here on the same amount of the same compound as each panel prints it, and the listing column says which packages a certifier has actually named. “Another size” means a listing exists for the product at a package we do not price. “Not settled” means a listing exists that may cover this package, and whether it does is not decided either way. “None found” means NSF's full directory was read and no listing names it, which is not a failed test. “Not searched” means there is no reading of NSF's directory for it. A price marked last known is older than its retailer's cache limit.
Each brand's full record, package by package, is on its own page: Bare Performance Nutrition and Momentous.
Where to buy: the creatine monohydrate shortlist
The pick is the cheapest certified product, at the exact package sold where the certifier names packages, with no adverse finding on record, a price its retailer let us read recently, and no more than a year’s supply at the label’s serving; per delivered dose where the retailer publishes a delivery rate. Where none does, it is the cheapest such product before delivery, and it says how far the order is from free delivery. It is the same pick the category page shows. Any answer shown beside it is the cheapest under a different rule and says so on its own line; answers that cost more than the pick fold under one line until you ask for them.
How these lines are chosen
Among 61 products and 74 retailer listings we track; Amazon and Walmart are not included. A month is thirty doses of the size in the heading, priced the same way as the per-dose figure beside it. “Delivery known” ranks only products whose retailer publishes a delivery rate; a cheaper product with an unpublished rate is on its own line, or in the full list below.

What this rests on: prices we last recorded at the retailer named on each product page, which go stale, and each page says when it was checked; the products we track, not every product sold, and Amazon and Walmart are not among the stores; listings and labels read at the source, each linked from the page.
