Which fits you
Choose by what you care about.
Each line is a measured difference between the two labels, not a verdict. Nothing here says either product works, or is safe for you.
You want less caffeine per serving: Cellucor C4 Sport Pre-Workout
200 mg against 300 mg declared per serving. Less is not safer and more is not better; how much suits you is a question for a clinician.
Cost per serving matters most: Cellucor C4 Sport Pre-Workout
$1.10 against $2.00 a serving at the prices FormulaSignal observed (Aug 3, 2026). Not every price here is established as a list price.
You want more of the main actives at researched doses: Cellucor C4 Ultimate
4 of 6 main actives on Cellucor C4 Ultimate sit inside the dose range the cited research used, against 2 of 5 on Cellucor C4 Sport Pre-Workout. A comparison of numbers, not of how well either works.
