Overview
Sometimes a home gym just needs one specific plate to round out a set, not a whole new collection. The Fitvids QD740-SFDD2IN25PBLK covers that scenario with a single 25 pound cast iron plate for $58.88, a straightforward buy for filling a gap rather than starting from scratch.
At $58.88 for 25 pounds, this plate works out to roughly $2.36 per pound, noticeably higher per pound than the 95 pound Fitvids sets, the SF2TRY-TH95 at about $1.20 per pound and the SF2TRY-RC95 at about $1.16 per pound. That's a common tradeoff with smaller, single-piece plates, since bulk sets typically bring the per pound cost down. Its 4.2 star rating matches the SF2TRY-RC95's rating, though this listing carries a stronger review base at 337, the highest count of any plate in this comparison.
For someone who already owns a rack and just needs to add a specific 25 pound increment, the review volume here is reassuring even if the rating itself sits in the middle of the pack. Buyers focused purely on cost efficiency per pound may find better value in one of the heavier bulk sets instead.

Performance notes
A single 25 pound cast iron plate is a targeted purchase, meant to round out a specific total rather than build a set from zero. At $58.88, the per pound cost lands around $2.36, notably higher than the roughly $1.16 to $1.20 per pound seen on the 95 pound Fitvids listings in this comparison, which reflects the usual premium paid for buying in smaller units. Cast iron is a durable, standard material choice for repeated barbell loading, matching what's used across the other Fitvids plates here. The 4.2 star average is identical to the SF2TRY-RC95's rating, but this listing carries far more reviews at 337, the highest count among the four plates compared. That larger sample gives more confidence that the rating reflects a stable pattern rather than a small, possibly skewed group of early reviewers.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average across 337 reviews is the largest sample size in this comparison, which makes the rating especially stable even though it ties for the lowest score among the four plates here. That combination, a middling rating with a very high review count, often points to a product that satisfies most buyers without wowing them, rather than one with inconsistent quality. It's worth noting the rating matches the SF2TRY-RC95 exactly but with nearly two and a half times the review volume. Bought last month sits at 0+, so there's no fresh demand signal to layer on top of that pattern. Overall, the sheer review volume here suggests buyers keep choosing this plate despite the more modest star average, likely for the single 25 pound convenience it offers.
