For a recurring bamboo toilet-paper order, Who Gives A Crap’s 48-roll plan is the current value leader in this set. Its regular $75 renewal works out to about $0.42 per 100 published sheets. Reel gives small households a lower-commitment 12-roll box and the widest cadence range. Save Trees has the lowest checked introductory total for 24 rolls, but the renewal rises from $29.99 to $39.99. PlantPaper is the clear option when unbleached paper matters more than the lowest sheet cost.

These picks rank published subscription economics and account controls. They do not use softness, absorbency, or merchant review scores as interchangeable evidence. If the paper itself is still the open question, compare bamboo toilet paper products before choosing a subscription. That category guide owns the broader product decision; this page stays focused on recurring delivery.

A per-roll comparison would put Reel’s 48-roll plan at $1.46 a roll, ahead of Who Gives A Crap at $1.56. That flips after sheet count: Reel publishes 300 sheets per roll while Who Gives A Crap publishes 370. The recurring cost is about $0.49 versus $0.42 per 100 sheets. Neither number measures feel, strength, or how many sheets a household will use.
Who Gives A Crap: lowest regular published-sheet cost
Who Gives A Crap offers 24- and 48-roll bamboo subscriptions. The visible new-subscriber offer takes $15 off the first shipment: $34 instead of $49 for 24 rolls, or $60 instead of $75 for 48. Later shipments return to the regular box price. That renewal number belongs in the household budget, not the discounted first order.
The 48-roll box carries the stronger renewal math. At 370 published sheets per roll, $75 equals about $1.56 per roll or $0.42 per 100 sheets. The smaller 24-roll renewal costs $2.04 per roll and about $0.55 per 100 sheets. The larger order trades storage space for a lower unit cost.
The storefront suggests a 48-roll shipment every two months for five or six people, every three months for three or four people, and every four months for one or two. Those are starting points. The account portal supports frequency changes, skipping, delaying, and cancellation. A reminder arrives three days before billing, and the card is charged when the order ships.
The subscription math does not replace the brand evidence. The separate review of Who Gives A Crap’s sourcing and donation claims handles that question without expanding this page into another sustainability audit.
Reel: smallest box and widest cadence range
Reel is easier to fit into a small bathroom or uncertain first cadence. Its current recurring prices are $23.99 for 12 rolls, $36.99 for 24, and $69.99 for 48. Each roll is published at 300 sheets, putting the regular recurring cost at about $0.67, $0.51, and $0.49 per 100 sheets, respectively.
The delivery menu is the most granular of the four plans checked. Customers can choose every 4, 6, 8, 12, or 16 weeks; the 48-count box also has a 24-week option. Reel sends a renewal reminder three days before processing. The next shipment can be skipped or moved to another date, and future orders can be canceled at any time. Cancellation does not undo an order that has already been placed.
The 12-roll box costs more per published sheet than the bulk plans, but it solves a different problem: keeping the first order under $25 and avoiding a large box in limited storage. A small household can start with an eight- or twelve-week interval, then move the next date after seeing the actual run rate.
Save Trees: low first 24-roll total, higher renewal
Save Trees lists 24- and 48-roll standard bamboo boxes. Its current product configuration prices the first 24-roll subscription shipment at $29.99 and later shipments at $39.99. That is $1.25 per roll for the first box and $1.67 at renewal. With 300 published sheets per roll, the cost moves from about $0.42 to $0.56 per 100 sheets.
The 48-roll subscription is $76.98 per shipment, or about $1.60 per roll and $0.53 per 100 published sheets. Both sizes offer delivery every two, three, or four months. Save Trees says it sends an upcoming-order email three days before shipment and lets customers delay or cancel from the account page.
The tracked Amazon destination opens the exact 24-roll Save Trees product, still labeled Cloud Paper in parts of the listing. Amazon pricing and Subscribe & Save eligibility can differ by shopper, delivery location, and date, so the direct-store subscription prices above should not be applied to an Amazon checkout. The existing Who Gives A Crap versus Save Trees comparison owns the broader two-brand decision.
PlantPaper: the unbleached subscription option
PlantPaper’s subscription is built around 16-, 32-, and 96-roll boxes. The current recurring prices are $38, $59, and $152. The brand publishes 200 sheets per roll, with each sheet measuring 4.3 by 4.3 inches. The resulting costs are about $1.19, $0.92, and $0.79 per 100 sheets, but those larger sheets make a bare sheet-count comparison less complete.
The practical distinction is the paper specification. PlantPaper describes the product as unbleached and made from FSC-certified bamboo. The smallest box can ship every 6, 9, or 12 weeks. The 32-roll plan adds an 18-week option, and the 96-roll plan offers 9, 12, 18, or 24 weeks. The subscription can be edited, skipped, paused, or canceled, and shipping is included in the published plan.
A welcome code appeared on the storefront when checked, but it is not included in the recurring-cost table. A temporary first-order code says little about the bill six or twelve months later.
How to choose a cadence without over-ordering
Start with the slower plausible interval
A subscription solves a stock problem only if the next box arrives near the point the current one runs out. Household-size calculators are useful starting estimates, but time away from home, bidet use, guests, and the number of bathrooms can change consumption substantially. If two cadences both look reasonable, the slower interval leaves less surplus to store.
Use the merchant reminder as a decision date
Who Gives A Crap, Reel, and Save Trees each publish a three-day reminder. Check the remaining rolls when that message arrives. A skipped or delayed order is usually easier than storing another 24 or 48 rolls. Reel also warns that cancellation affects future orders, not an order already placed, which makes the reminder window meaningful.
Budget the renewal, not the welcome price
The WGAC 48-roll first shipment is $60, then $75. Save Trees’ 24-roll first shipment is $29.99, then $39.99. Those increases are $15 and $10. A plan should still fit after that first bill; otherwise a one-time order may be the cleaner choice.
Compare published sheets before roll count
A 48-roll box is not a standard unit. The plans here publish 200, 300, or 370 sheets per roll, and PlantPaper’s sheets are larger. Cost per 100 published sheets corrects the biggest roll-count distortion. It remains a price measure, not a performance score.

Reel’s 48-roll plan was about $0.49, Save Trees was about $0.53, and PlantPaper’s 96-roll plan was about $0.79. Sheet dimensions and paper construction differ, so this is a price comparison rather than a quality score.
What is the smallest bamboo toilet paper subscription box?
Reel offers the smallest recurring box in this comparison: 12 rolls for $23.99 per shipment. Who Gives A Crap’s smallest subscription-eligible box is 24 rolls; PlantPaper starts at 16 and Save Trees at 24.
Can these toilet paper subscriptions be canceled online?
All four merchants publish cancellation controls. Who Gives A Crap, Reel, and Save Trees also describe a three-day reminder before the next charge or shipment. Changes need to happen before an order is processed; canceling a subscription does not necessarily cancel an order already placed.
Is Save Trees available through Amazon Subscribe & Save?
Amazon Subscribe & Save eligibility, price, and discount can vary by account, location, and date. The tracked link on this page opens the exact Save Trees 24-roll product so the current purchase options can be checked at Amazon. Direct-store prices in this comparison should not be assumed at Amazon checkout.
Before subscribing
Use the renewal price and a conservative cadence as the deciding numbers. For current published-sheet value, the WGAC 48-roll plan leads this set. For small storage spaces, Reel’s 12-roll box is easier to absorb. If a material, certification, or product-performance question is still unresolved, move first to the bamboo toilet paper comparison.
