HelloFresh alternatives: the closest boxes, by what you want to change

Six services sell the same three recipes for two as HelloFresh, and five of them show a price before you enter a ZIP code. The right switch depends on what you want to change: the price, the household size, the cooking or the subscription.

A price you can see first

HelloFresh’s own pages give only an approximate price per serving; the exact box price shows after you enter a ZIP code. EveryPlate, Home Chef and Purple Carrot state a price per serving, and Dinnerly and Marley Spoon publish the whole price of every box, so you can compare before you sign up. The table above prices the same box at full price, not the first-box deal.

A box for three, or for eight

HelloFresh is one of two services here with a box for three people; the other is Marley Spoon, which also publishes its price. For a bigger household, Home Chef’s Family menu serves four or eight. Meal kits for families compares the larger boxes.

Less cooking

If you are leaving because of the cooking, Factor is HelloFresh Group’s prepared-meal service, and CookUnity sells prepared meals with a one-time order and pauses of up to eight weeks. Both send single meals to heat. HelloFresh vs Factor sets the two side by side.

No subscription

CookUnity and Blue Apron sell orders without a weekly plan to manage: meal kits without a subscription.

Same company, different box

EveryPlate, Green Chef and Factor belong to HelloFresh Group, like HelloFresh itself. Each has its own account and cancellation, so switching between them means signing up again: who owns which meal kit.

Before you leave HelloFresh

Cancel before 11:59 PM Pacific, five days before your next delivery, or that box still ships and is charged: how to skip, pause or cancel HelloFresh.
