Coconut milk vs coconut milk powder

Hi!

Coconut connoisseurs, assemble!

Which is better, in terms of consistency and cost-effectiveness, coconut milk or coconut milk powder?

Which coconut milk/coconut milk powder brand do you use?

Which brand gives thicker coconut milk? Better value for money?

I have not purchased coconut milk before, whatever insight you can provide would be quite useful.

Thank you for your time and inputs.
