Spools of 750 g and 800 g are common and are not read as 1 kg. Listings that state no weight, or several weights, are left out. How to compare filament by price per kg.

How to choose polycarbonate filament
What to look for
- Read the Total weight column, not just the price: a 750 g or 800 g spool is divided by its own weight, so it is not treated as 1 kg.
- Check the Diameter filter: most listings are 1.75 mm, and a spool of the wrong diameter will not work with a printer set up for the other size, however low the price per kilogram.
- With few listings, look at the whole range in the table.
- Check whether the title names a blend such as PC-ABS.
