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: Transparent Labs Lean Pre-Workout
180 mg against 350 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: Transparent Labs Lean Pre-Workout
$1.67 against $2.50 a serving at the prices FormulaSignal observed (Aug 3, 2026 and Jul 25, 2026). Not every price here is established as a list price.
You want more of the main actives at researched doses: Legion Athletics Pulse
2 of 3 main actives on Legion Athletics Pulse sit inside the dose range the cited research used, against 2 of 4 on Transparent Labs Lean Pre-Workout. A comparison of numbers, not of how well either works.
