Compare Paper Towel Prices Per Roll
How Paper Towels pricing is compared on Dealophant
Listings are ranked by price per roll. Marketing terms like "double roll", "mega pack", or "family size" are unwound — what matters is the actual roll count, which Dealophant extracts from the product title.
We normalize pricing across regular, double, and triple rolls so you get a fair comparison.
Each listing's total Amazon price is divided by the roll count extracted from the product title and (where available) cross-checked against Amazon's own price.pricePerUnit field. The result is a single live price-per-roll number that's directly comparable across every brand and pack size in the category. The lowest price per roll earns the "Best Value" badge.

- Is Bounty worth the higher price?

Cross-unit listings (for example a serving-count tub mixed in with weight-based tubs) are shown separately under "Other formats" so the price-per-roll ranking stays apples-to-apples.

- Usually yes, but not always — Dealophant has seen single-pack paper towels undercut bulk on a per-roll basis when the smaller size is on sale or has a Subscribe & Save discount the bulk listing doesn't. That's why Dealophant always recomputes per-roll price live rather than assuming bigger = cheaper.
