Short answer: TonicGreens is the cheaper, simpler greens powder with a shorter guarantee; AG1 is the premium, heavily tested one with a longer guarantee and a much higher price. Prices below are as listed on the makers' own pages on October 30, 2026. We have not hands-on tested either powder.

TonicGreens vs AG1: the two daily greens powders
Short answer: TonicGreens is the cheaper, simpler greens powder with a shorter guarantee; AG1 is the premium, heavily tested one with a longer guarantee and a much higher price.
| TonicGreens | AG1 Next Gen | |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients | 57+ in 6 groups | 75+ |
| Per-ingredient amounts | Not broken out | Label gives amounts for vitamins and minerals |
| Price | $79 for 1 bottle, $59 each for 3, $49 each for 6 | $79 a month on subscription |
| Cost per serving | About $1.63–$2.63 a day by package | $2.63 a serving |
| Guarantee | 60-day money-back | 90-day money-back |
| Extras | 2 free digital books on 3- and 6-bottle packs | Welcome kit with first subscription |
| Third-party testing | GMP-registered facility, made in the USA | NSF Certified for Sport |
TonicGreens organises its formula into six groups — quercetin sources, a resveratrol berry blend, pure curcumin, extra antioxidants, an immune-system phytomix, and a prebiotic-probiotic blend — but the maker's page does not break out how much of any single ingredient is in a scoop, so the dose of any one compound cannot be verified. Its current offer, on the maker's own page, is $79 for one bottle, $59 a bottle for three, and $49 a bottle for six, with free shipping on the six-bottle pack.
AG1 Next Gen is $79 a month on subscription for 30 servings. AG1 also sells a Pro version at $99 a month, which adds creatine monohydrate, calcium HMB, and zinc carnosine, and a gummies version at $49 a month. AG1's label gives amounts for its vitamins and minerals, and the product is NSF Certified for Sport, a third-party certification for banned substances that matters to tested athletes.
On price per day the two are closer than the headlines suggest: TonicGreens works out to about $1.63 a day on the six-bottle pack and $2.63 a day on a single bottle, while AG1 is $2.63 a serving on subscription. The real gap is what you get for the money — AG1's published amounts, its certification, and its 90-day guarantee against TonicGreens' lower entry price and shorter 60-day guarantee.
The caution both powders need
Short answer: neither powder treats, cures, or prevents any disease, and neither replaces a clinician — especially not for herpes.
That caution matters most for TonicGreens, because it is sold in the same conversation as herpes. The CDC states plainly that there is no cure for genital herpes, and no dietary supplement is approved to cure, prevent, or eliminate it. TonicGreens' own page describes the formula as gradual nutritional support for healthy adults, not a treatment for any diagnosed condition, and its research citations concern individual ingredients, not a clinical trial of the finished powder. Our evidence review of TonicGreens and herpes found no published clinical trial behind the herpes claim.

AG1 makes no herpes claim at all, which is the honest position for a greens powder. Its page says the formula is for healthy adults, and the same rule applies: if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or being treated for a medical condition, talk to a clinician before starting any daily supplement. A greens powder can be a daily habit; it cannot be a treatment plan.
What this means for buyers
For greens powders, the choice is about what you are actually paying for. If you want the lowest daily cost and a simple formula, TonicGreens' six-bottle price is the cheaper habit. If you want published amounts, third-party sport certification, and the longest guarantee, AG1 is the premium option at the same $79 a month. And if anyone is buying a powder because of a herpes claim, stop: see a clinician about antiviral treatment first, and judge the powder as a greens powder, not as a remedy.
