Micronized for mixability, clinically dosed at 5g, and a strong value proposition from a brand with decades of track record. One of the best all-around creatine picks.
ON Micronized Creatine scores exceptionally well because it delivers the most evidence-backed supplement at a near-unbeatable price point with Informed Choice certification. The micronized format is a genuine quality-of-life improvement. No hype penalty -- ON lets the product speak for itself. Slightly lower formulation score than Thorne because it does not use Creapure sourcing.
Optimum Nutrition uses standard creatine monohydrate in micronized form for better solubility. The 5g dose matches the clinical consensus from 500+ studies. Micronization does not change efficacy but improves user experience (less grittiness, better mixing). Informed Choice certified for banned substance testing. ON has been producing creatine for over 20 years with consistent third-party results.

Does not use branded Creapure creatine. No NSF Certified for Sport (uses Informed Choice). Unflavored only in the powder form. Not the absolute cheapest (Nutricost edges it) but certification justifies the modest premium.
