The two tubs side by side
Momentous names Creapure, states 450 g and charges $38.69 for Subscribe & Save deliveries after the first57. Its refund policy says delivered products generally can’t be returned11. The per-serving figures use one-time prices16. Prices, terms and NSF listings are as published on October 13, 2026.
Prices are US prices from each maker’s product page or online store, checked on October 13, 2026. They’re before tax and shipping. Where a cell says a figure isn’t stated, we didn’t find it on the pages reviewed.

Which one fits which need
These are picks for different needs, not a ranking. Both scoops hold the same 5 g of creatine monohydrate with nothing else listed15. So the choice rests on disclosure, subscription price and returns.
- If you may want to send it back, choose Thorne Creatine. Thorne takes return requests within 60 days of purchase and offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee for a refund or product credit2. The catch: approved returns carry a 25% restocking fee, and Thorne doesn’t say who pays return shipping2. Its page also states neither the net weight nor where the creatine comes from1.
- If you want a named raw material or plan to subscribe, choose Momentous Creatine. Momentous names Creapure, says it’s single-sourced from Germany and states a 450 g net weight5. Subscribe & Save deliveries after the first cost $38.69, about $0.43 a serving7. The catch: its refund policy says delivered products generally can’t be returned, and the money-back guarantee on its page has no stated terms511. The page lists no warnings either5.
- If you buy one tub at a time, price won’t decide it. $44 against $42.99 is $1.01 a tub, or about $4 a year at one scoop a day16.
What actually differs
Disclosure. Momentous names its raw material and states the net weight5. Thorne does neither, and NSF’s listing gives two package sizes, 450 g and 900 g, without tying either to the 90-serving tub13. Thorne’s page lists who shouldn’t take it and who should ask first, while Momentous’s product page lists no warnings15.
The NSF listing. Thorne’s listing gives 66 lot numbers you can match against the number on your tub3. Momentous has two entries. The 450 g entry gives 24 lot numbers, and a second entry covers all lots1012. NSF doesn’t say how the two relate. None shows a certification date or says what was screened31012.
Returns. Thorne lets you ask for a refund within 60 days, at the cost of a 25% restocking fee2. Momentous’s refund policy generally refuses returns of delivered products11. The money-back guarantee on its product page comes with no terms, and the refund policy doesn’t mention it511.
Subscription price. Thorne shows no subscription price for this size1. Momentous charges $32.24 for the first Subscribe & Save delivery and $38.69 after that7. At the later price, a year costs about $156.91, against $178.44 for Thorne at its one-time price17.
What stays the same
Both hold 90 servings of 5 g creatine monohydrate a scoop, with no other ingredients listed15. Both are labeled gluten free15. Both appear in NSF’s Certified for Sport database as 1-scoop (5 g) powders310. Each is one scoop a day, mixed into a drink15.
Neither maker states the container’s dimensions15. Both makers’ quality statements are their own15. Neither product page publishes test results or a certificate of analysis15.
What the labels don’t settle
Both pages make benefit claims. Thorne describes the powder as creatine for lean muscle mass, endurance, cellular energy and brain function, and says the FDA hasn’t evaluated those claims1. Momentous’s page makes cognitive, metabolic and healthy-aging claims5. These are claims, not studies of either product.
A sport certification describes what’s in the tub, not what it does. Thorne’s page also shows “Thorne Verified” badges for “Derived From Natural Flavors” and “Derived From Natural Colors,” though no flavor or color ingredient is listed1. Ask Thorne before relying on those badges. Whether creatine is worth taking, and what trials of older adults doing resistance training found, is in our evidence review.
