For utensils, the softworks stuff is noticeably less good. Cheaper materials, basically self-made knockoffs. For the POP containers, they're VERY similar. Sizes are ever so slightly different for whatever reason, and some have rounded square buttons instead of circle. Beyond that, they're almost indistinguishable.
****That all being said, they recently updated the design on these. The lids are thinner which allows them to fit a little more, but they make a MUCH worse seal than the old ones. When they're full, you cannot lift the new ones by the lids. The lids just pull off when you try. They make a good enough seal on the shelf, but you could easily pick it up wrong and have it drop and spill. The older ones were much better, both goodgrips and softworks.

We got a horrific pantry moth infestation once, and they got into all of the oxo pops. Pantry moth eggs come into your home in purchased grains or flours and such. If you don't freeze those products for two weeks upon buying them, you risk the dreaded pantry moth. They get through screw-on lids and ziploc bags, too.
Now, I only use glass clamp-lid jars that have the rubber gasket and plastic Tupperware that has a solid locking lid with rubber gasket. No button on top that allows space for creepy crawlers to enter.
the lids were never meant to support the weight of the container. How could it? The weight depends on the size of the container, how full it is and the density of the objects placed within. Air tightness of the seal isnt necessarily proportional to the shear strength of the seal.
these are nice for organization, but you can't expect them to defy physics. if you need a vacuum seal, get the food saver or the zwilling vacuum sealers.
"It's an airtight, space-efficient and stackable storage solution that's ideally sized for rice, pasta and lentils. POP Containers keep dry foods fresh and pantries organized, plus the wide range of shapes and sizes provide new possibilities for storing everyday staples like flour, sugar, coffee, cereal, oatmeal, grains and spices."
Like most things in life, YMMV and these may work for you and your application of them.
Also, these moths, or rather the grubs, like to eat wool, so they will attack your expensive wool clothing if given the chance. I found that out the hard way.
But, the difference is that the costco ones do no have the attachment point inside. Seems to be a Version 1 vs Version 2 difference. So I assume the seal has also been updated.
I've been happy with the costco ones. They'll probably add a new sku for v2 at costco in the future.

You gotta do it in two separate orders also. The discount is $20 off anything above $50. So a $100 order still only gets $20 off.

I just got mine today. Kinda surprised it shipped and arrived early. I'll see how good things work here.
