Unmatched Supps vs the Competition: Full Comparison

At a Glance

Prices are approximate, based on standard tub sizes at each brand's own site as of July 2026. Retail prices vary.

Unmatched vs Kaged

This is the closest matchup because it's the same founder twice. Kris Gethin's fingerprints are on both brands: Kaged built its reputation on full label disclosure and third-party testing, and Unmatched keeps both standards. The differences are at the edges — and in the pricing structure. On formulation, Unmatched was built from scratch with no legacy SKUs to protect, which let Gethin make choices like paraxanthine over caffeine in BH2K and building creatine plus beta-alanine into one product (CreGAAtine). Kaged's lineup is excellent but more conventional, and its distribution through major retailers means its pricing has to protect retail margins.

On price, compare flagships to flagships. Kaged's top-tier Pre-Workout Elite runs $59 for 20 servings on kaged.com; the original Pre-Kaged is $39 for 20 servings as the leaner formula. BH2K lists at $59.99 — but with STEVEN10 it's $53.99 every single day, undercutting Elite, and during a 20% sitewide sale the code stacks to bring it to $43.19. Kaged runs seasonal campaign codes, but there's no standing equivalent you can count on year-round. If the deciding factor is what you pay per tub of a flagship formula over a year, the standing 10% wins.

Unmatched vs Ghost

Ghost is the lifestyle play: candy-brand flavor collabs, striking cans and tubs, a huge social presence. Credit where due — Ghost does full label disclosure too, and the flavors are legitimately fun. The difference is emphasis. Ghost invests in novelty and licensing; Unmatched invests in testing rigor — third-party verification across the entire lineup, no artificial sweeteners, and formulation choices aimed at training outcomes rather than shelf appeal. If you buy pre-workout for the experience of drinking it, Ghost is a fair pick. If you buy it for what it does in the gym and want every batch tested, Unmatched is the stronger product. Ghost Legend is cheaper per tub (~$44.99 for 30 servings), so this one isn't a price win — it's a what-you're-paying-for win, and STEVEN10 narrows the gap to about $9 a tub.

Unmatched vs C4

C4 is the volume champion — the pre-workout you can grab at a gas station, often near $1 per serving. For a casual gym-goer on a budget, it does the job. But the comparison isn't really like-for-like: C4's core formulas use smaller doses and, in some products, proprietary blends that don't disclose exact amounts, and third-party testing covers only part of the range. Unmatched charges more because there's more in the tub — disclosed, tested, fully dosed. And STEVEN10 shrinks the sticker gap: BH2K at $53.99 versus a ~$29.99 C4 tub is about a $24 difference — under a dollar per workout for verified, clinical doses of the ingredients C4's core formulas underdose or hide in blends. Framed per training session, the upgrade is cheap.
