Otherwise: A nice website!
Doesn't seem to include Costco Isopure, which is $60 for 3.5lbs, sometimes found on sale for $50. It's my goto because it has nothing except protein.
Maybe just me, but I'd like a column (and checkbox on the left) about packaging. I don't know why protein powders require plastic cannisters, and it would seem to me that they are well-suited to something more environmentally friendly, but for some reason so many of them want to use plastic. Otherwise: A nice website!
I'm surprised to see some difference in the result for "Plant based" and "vegan"
I guess there could be cases where a product is plant based, but still contains some animal products. But I'll double check the matching to see if anything looks weird. Also, feel free to provide an example here or to elina@nutritionprices.com of a badly categorised product and I'll investigate

it would be nice to see all the ingredients and see which ones have poor/toxic additives

Seconding this. Variables I care about are packaging, sweetener additives, and country of manufacture/origin.
I've read that some forms of protein (such as from animal sources) are more "bio available" than others, and thus result in a higher net result of protein absorbed. I see I can filter out specific sources, but it'd be cool if as part of the normalization, that it took this into account in some way.
When choosing a product, are there other parameters to consider than protein per dollar? Are there any interesting metrics for "quality"? I'd assume it's not just "protein is protein". Would be interesting to see other metrics deployed, and the ability to find my own "sweet spot".
100%, we have collect some nutrition data that we don't expose yet e.g. cholesterol, added sugar, trans fat etc. Sort of optimised for not having the table _extremely_ wide. But might be an option adding in some extra, as well as adding filter options for that to allow you to tweak it and find your sweet spot. Optimally we'd have even more information re: amino acids etc, but that information is _hard_ to parse out
