Is there a big difference between purina and Proplan

I recently got invited to do a pet trial for Proplan. My cat really liked it. It seems expensive. I wondered how much it differed nutritionally from purina as it is made by same supplier.

    Purina is a division of Nestle that makes lots of different foods:
    Proplan
    Purina One
    Bakers
    Felix
    Beta
    Go-Cat
    Winalot
    Bonio

    So you can't really compare Proplan to Purina per se, just its other brands.

    Applaws dry or wet is vastly cheaper than ProPlan and so much more suited to a cat's nutritional requirements.

    My workplace sells Proplan for £32 for 3kg!! Applaws is £11 for 2kg.

    Proplan is one of those foods that is expensive and you'd think it was a premium great food for your animal but no, you may as well just feed the cheapest because it is awful stuff.
