Which maker is cheapest per watt-hour?

Pecron, by median. Lineups differ in size, and small units cost more per watt-hour, so read the second chart too. For units of 1,000 Wh or more the order is Pecron ($0.34), EcoFlow ($0.50), Jackery ($0.53), Goal Zero ($1.00). Prices are sale prices on the read date and move often; a maker that is dearest today can be cheapest on Black Friday.

The median of each maker's own lineup, base units only. A maker with many small units sits higher because small boxes cost more per Wh; the next chart holds size constant.

Which maker says the most about its batteries?

A rated cycle count lets you compare battery life, if the listing also states the capacity at which the count ends. Pecron lists a rating most often; EcoFlow least. This is disclosure, not performance: no unit was put on a bench for this page, and a maker that states less may still make a good battery.

Share of listings that state a rated cycle countwhat each maker discloses
Percent of each maker's tracked listings that state a rated charge cycle count, read 25 October 2026. Pecron (10 of 10): 100%%. Goal Zero (7 of 7): 100%%. Jackery (6 of 8): 75%%. EcoFlow (0 of 7): 0%%Pecron (10 of 10)100%Goal Zero (7 of 7)100%Jackery (6 of 8)75%EcoFlow (0 of 7)0%
A stated cycle count is not the same as a good one. It means the buyer can compare, if the end-of-life capacity and test conditions are also stated.

Unit-level prices, capacity and links are in the Disclosure Index. Where a unit is confirmed on Amazon you will find an "also on Amazon" link beside it in our rankings: EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro also on Amazon, EcoFlow DELTA 3 Classic also on Amazon, EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max also on Amazon are examples.

How do you choose between them?

Decide the size and the use before the brand. A weekly camper cycles the battery often, so cycle life and price per watt-hour carry the decision. A household keeping a unit for outages cycles it rarely, so warranty length and a named safety standard matter more. Our LiFePO4 vs NMC guide explains the cycle ratings, and UL 2743 is the standard for portable power packs.

Choosing a maker: the questions to answer first
1. How much stored energy do you need (Wh)?   -> size first
2. Do you need it to run an appliance with a motor? -> check surge W
3. How often will you cycle it? Weekly use: cycle life matters
   Emergency-only: warranty and standby loss matter more
4. Does the listing state cycles, end-of-life capacity,
   a safety standard and a warranty length?
5. Price per Wh inside your size class, on the day you buy

How we chose and compared these makers

Method

The 32 base power stations that EcoFlow, Jackery, Goal Zero and Pecron list on their own US stores with an unambiguous capacity, from the weekly price index. A median is the middle unit of each maker's lineup, so it describes the lineup, not any one box. Price per watt-hour is price divided by rated capacity. Disclosure counts listings that state a rated cycle count, coded in the Disclosure Index. Amazon availability was confirmed in a browser on 20 October 2026. Nothing here comes from bench work; it is all from listings.

For makers: if a price, capacity or rating here has changed, tell us on our contact page and we will re-read the listing and date the change.

FAQ

Which is cheaper, EcoFlow, Jackery, Pecron or Goal Zero?

By median price per watt-hour on 25 October 2026, Pecron was lowest at $0.37 and Goal Zero highest at $1.00. Lineups differ in size, so compare units of the same capacity.

Which power station brand has the longest battery life?

Listings state rated cycles, not tested life, and the counts are measured to different end-of-life capacities. Compare cycle ratings only when the stated test conditions match.

Is Pecron a good brand?

Pecron's lineup was the cheapest per watt-hour we read, and it states cycles on 10 of 10 listings. These are listing reads, not bench results; see our Pecron guide for the specifics.

Can I buy these power stations on Amazon?

Several units from EcoFlow, Jackery and Pecron were confirmed listed on Amazon on 20 October 2026; some Goal Zero units were not. Prices on Amazon can differ from the maker's store.

Does a longer warranty mean a better power station?

It signals the maker's confidence, but coverage terms differ. Read what the warranty covers and whether it is a limited warranty before comparing years.

Bottom line

Pick the size from your devices, then use the maker as a tiebreaker: Pecron for price per watt-hour, Pecron for the most stated about the battery. Re-check the maker's page on the day you buy, because prices here are the read-date prices.
