Notable differences
- Format is identical (both slim), but moisture isn't — ZYN's core line is dry, while Fre is moist across its whole lineup (ZYN's separate Ultra line is moist too).
- Strength range: ZYN's core line runs 1.5-8mg depending on flavor. Fre now runs the same 3mg-15mg range on every one of its six flavors — the widest flat strength ladder on the site, well past ZYN's core-line ceiling.
- Flavor count: ZYN carries 21 flavors (13 core, 8 Ultra) to Fre's 6 (Mint, Wintergreen, Lush, Watermelon, Sweet, Original) — ZYN remains the far bigger lineup, even as Fre has grown.
- Fre still doesn't carry a citrus, coffee, or cinnamon option — three profiles ZYN has and Fre doesn't.
