American Peptides vs Peptide Plugs: prices, COAs and track record compared

Side by side from public evidence and live prices, checked Oct 15, 2026. Neither vendor paid to be here, and we haven't lab-tested either, so this compares openness and price, not purity.

The short answer

• Peptide Plugs scores higher on our six public-information checks: 57/100 against 47/100, ahead on naming an independent lab. Both have 5 of 6 checks completed; unfinished checks score 0.
• Peptide Plugs is cheaper on 24 of the 30 peptides both sell, and American Peptides on 4 (2 ties). Where they differ, the typical gap is 41% per milligram.
• Both publish only generic or sample COAs, not batch-specific ones.
• American Peptides' domain was registered Feb 2026 (7 months ago); Peptide Plugs' domain was registered Dec 2025 (9 months ago).
• Both say they ship to the US.
• We haven't lab-tested either vendor, so none of this measures purity.

Prices on the peptides both sell

Each vendor's lowest comparable price per milligram, picked the same way as on our price pages: single vials before multi-vial kits, in stock before out of stock. Vial sizes differ (shown under each price), and a bigger vial usually costs less per milligram.

Peptide Plugs is cheaper on 24 of the 30 peptides both sell, and American Peptides on 4 (2 ties). Where they differ, the typical gap is 41% per milligram. Prices fetched Oct 15, 2026; they change daily.

Only the differences that show up in our data. We haven't lab-tested either vendor's products.

Before you order from either

• Ask for the batch COA that matches the vial you'll receive, and check it with our COA guide.
• Pay by card or PayPal where you can: both can be disputed if an order goes wrong.
• Check the domain is the vendor's real one. Look-alike sites copy well-known names (how to spot them).
