I am looking for a 3rd Party charger for the new Macbook Pro 14" so basically anything up to 96w but doesn't cost the same price as Apple's own.

Also do we know if Magsafe cable works with third party chargers?

Any recommendations, preferably from Amazon UK.
 
Search for GAN chargers... specifically Anker's offerings.

** Pro tip. Unless you really need fast charging, you can save money by going to a lower power charger or one with multiple ports. I regularly use a tiny 45w GAN charger with my 2019 MBP and plan to continue to do so with my new 14 inch.

Ah fab thanks. I have a RAVPower 65w multi port charger already that I was using with a MBP Intel 2020 so will continue to use that.

MagSafe works with any type-C charger, and it doesn't seem to change the power profile as it is just a pin re-arrangement in a sense. I pluged my base 14" into a Satechi 108W and System Profiler says 90W is negotiated. It reports the same if I use a regular type-C power cable to the same charger, but on a TB4 port on the MBP.

This morning I also tried doing the same thing on a 82W 26800mAh battery bank and can confirmed both ways work, but I forgot to check the macOS power details at that time.
 
Found it. I am drawing 45w from the RAVPower.
