LMNT sits at the top of the electrolyte category’s sticker price, and it’s upfront about it. Here’s every figure, checked July 17, 2026, converted to the numbers that matter — including the one the category is really sold on: cost per 100 mg of sodium.
Every price tier, in one table
| Option | Price | Per serving | Per year (1/day) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-stick box — one-time | $45 | $1.50 | ~$547 |
| 30-stick box — subscription | ~$39 | $1.30 | ~$450 |
The math the category is actually sold on
Electrolyte value isn’t really about the sticker — it’s about what a milligram of sodium costs, because sodium is the mineral you’re replacing. On that measure LMNT looks very different:
What the same money buys elsewhere
| Product | Per serving | Per 100 mg sodium |
|---|---|---|
| LMNT | $1.30–$1.50 | 13–15¢ |
| Earth Energy Daily Hydration | $0.71–$1.33 | 9–18¢ |
| Nuun Sport | $0.75 | 25¢ |

Is LMNT expensive?
It has the highest zero-sugar sticker in the category, but at 13–15¢ per 100 mg of sodium it’s one of the best values per milligram — the price buys a full 1,000 mg dose.
