I've been using Gain 72 pods (Moonlight Breeze). I decided to try Tide 72 pods (Spring Meadow) and my clothes smell so much better. Not sure why that is? As for dirt or stains, usually our clothes are fairly clean. So it is hard for me to tell which works better.

Tide smells more masculine whereas gain is more gender neutral.

Gain products smell less like chemical. I also like that you can get fireworks, softener, and dryer sheets in the same scent, which is impossible with tide. I don’t like the hodge podge of scents you get with the using tide if you need softener or dryer sheets.

I selected this option because I love the smell of Gain although I only use the fabric softener and use Tide for the wash. I thought they were manufactured by the same company and Gain is generally a lot less expensive than Tide. I will try Gain as soon as I am done with there use container of Tide packets I just bought.

My husband and I have been using strictly Tide the entire almost 16 years we've been together. It's also what my parents used (and still use) and it's also what my grandparents always used; however, while we were at Target the other day, we smelled some of the Gain detergents and they smell SO much better than Tide! We ended up buying the Apple Mango Tango detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets and we love them! Our clothes and linens smell amazing now! Don't get me wrong, Tide does an excellent job and I'm not saying that we'll never use Tide again, but we just love how much better the Gain smells and we find it to do equally as good of a job as Tide does at getting our clothes, sheets, and towels clean.

I've been trying the Gain Flings and the Tide Pods for the first time ever and Tide Pods don't even come close in having fresh smelling clothes as Gain does.

Gain wins by a landslide. I even recently found out that my local vet's office uses the Gain Flings and you know how much laundry they do.
