Have you ever stood in your kitchen, with a whipper in hand, staring at two different boxes of cream chargers, CreamJet and WhipIt, and thought to yourself: which of these is worth my money?
This was exactly the dilemma chefs, baristas, and even hobby bakers have expressed to me. Both brands are well-known suppliers of cream chargers, but one brand may be better than the other.
In this article, I will take you through the different criteria between CreamJet and WhipIt (also called whipit, whipit can, whipit canisters or whippet canisters) so you can accurately feel good about your selection and not second guess yourself.
Why compare CreamJet and WhipIt?
Both brands promise high quality, nitrous oxide canisters for whipping cream, cocktails, and culinary foams. However, the outcome of your experience is about more than just the gas in the canister.
People always ask me things like:
- Is WhipIt really extra premium, or is it just marketing?
- How does CreamJet compare to established brands?
- Which one offers better value if I order in bulk?
That’s what we are going to get to in this article.
CreamJet vs WhipIt: Quick Comparison Chart
Here is a comparison of CreamJet and WhipIt cream chargers side by side:

The CreamJet Argument
When I first tried CreamJet, the first thing that stood out was not the increased quality, but the convenience. Bulk CreamJet cylinders mean fewer refill runs and reduced packaging disposal. And, since we ship direct from getcreamjet.com, you cut out the middlemen and save a little.
A baker I know switched to CreamJet from Whip It based solely on the speed of delivery: she needed chargers for a wedding cake last-minute, and CreamJet had them on her doorstep the next morning. While it’s nice to be able to count on a company, it is even better when you run a business.
The WhipIt Argument
To be fair, WhipIt has been around a long time. It is a trusted brand for catering and restaurants, and a lot of chefs are comfortable using something they know. You can find their small whip it canisters easily online or in a catering store.
However, if you look past the initial purchase price to the overall cost, particularly if you are whipping cream every day, WhipIt will cost you more as compared to CreamJet. WhipIt will always be a safe choice – just not always the best choice for the money.
Pros & Cons: CreamJet vs WhipIt
✅ CreamJet Pros

❌ CreamJet Cons

✅ Whip It Pros
- Established, well-recognized brand that’s been trusted for years in catering.
- It’s easy to find in most catering shops or online shops.
- Works with standard whippers, already used in the restaurant industry.
❌ Whip It Cons
- Smaller 8g canisters means an individual will have to change the canisters more often.

Which Option Should You Go With?
Here’s the way I see it:
- If you’re in favor of modern design, quick shipping, and bulk-friendly options, CreamJet wins.
- If you’re more along the lines of sticking to the branded and traditional names, WhipIt still may entice you.
But for the run-of-the-mill chef, baker, or event planner looking to save money but not sacrifice quality, CreamJet gives you more “bang for your buck“.
