I think it's a matter of personal preference, at the end of the day. I prefer laundry liquid or caps because it's gentler on delicate fabric and skin, and it cleans the stains better compared to regular laundry powder (from my experience). Caps like this also has pre-measured dose of laundry liquid detergent and softener.
But as I said, it's a matter of preference after all (same with dishwashing powder vs dishwashing capsules) :)
I suspect you're correct assuming the composition is the same as the powder you compared it to. Like dishwasher tablets, I guess you would be paying for the convenience of a tablet vs scooping powder
Yes - it certainly makes sense that the manufacturers will want to segregate the market in some way, and charge more to those willing to pay more (no issue with that).
check out the tech connections video - tablets are worse for dishwashing unless you add extra powder.
Does that relate to laundry?
@Alan6984: OBH was comparing it to dishwasher tablets. No idea if the same applies to washing machines.
Online out of stock - still available from some stores

I'm wondering if this is a good deal though?
This is my calculation - please pick it apart!
Persil Laundry Powder Front & Top Loader Ultimate 4kg Box = $20.00 (https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/p/persil-laundry-powder-front…)
Powder per wash = 40g (this is my guess - a convenient figure to use, I think I'm probably over estimating)
4kg / 40g = 100 washes = $0.20 per wash
Compared to this deal:
Persil 18 tabs = $5.00 = $0.28 per wash
Alternatively, break-even powder usage (to match this deal) would be:
$20.00 / ($5.00 / 18) = 72 washes from the 4kg, so about 56g per wash.
We pretty much only ever do a full load, and I'm fairly sure we don't use 56g of powder for a full load in our machine, but maybe I'm wrong?
Alan.
