WhichMealKitSprinly vs Purple Carrot
Whether you want to cook decides it: Sprinly sends only cooked single meals to heat, 6, 12 or 18 a week; Purple Carrot sells kits to cook for two or four, with Ready to Eat meals beside them.
Three dinners for two, food only: $109.00 at Sprinly; $79.50–$85.50 at Purple Carrot. The pages we read do not give Sprinly’s shipping; Purple Carrot adds $12 shipping, $91.50–$97.50 in all.
Both are plant-based throughout: every Sprinly meal is vegan, and every Purple Carrot kit and meal is plant-based.
