Splenda granular (out of the box or bag) has a whopping 24 carbs per cup.
Splenda packets have 1 carb per packet and it takes 24 packets for a cup. I usually get by with about 16 packets to substitute for a whole cup of sweetener needed.
The Spenda Quick Packs are the equivalent of one cup and have under 8 carbs. I just got some a couple weeks ago and I'm LOVEING them.
The Splenda tablets have ZERO or close to it.
Stevia is natural and much better for you. It has a different taste and can be bitter. I've heard that it's better to MIX different sweeteners to get a better overall sweetness and you can use less overall.
I have Stevia packets and use them once in awhile, especially with chocolate.
