Set your household above: each row is one delivery for it after the first-box deal, from the maker’s own page, with the date we read it. A whole bill, a stated rate and a price shown only on the maker’s site are labelled apart. “From” amounts multiply the maker’s stated rate by your portions; a range means the maker states two rates. Where a maker puts shipping only in the cart, it is left out and said so; it is never counted as zero.
How to read the table
- A delivery is one box for your household at full price. A plain amount is the whole bill the maker publishes, food and shipping, before tax.
- From means the maker states a price per serving or meal; we multiply it by your portions. Shipping is added only where the maker states it.
- Price after ZIP code, in its cart or priced dish by dish means the maker publishes no box total we can read.
- Order minimum is the smallest order the maker accepts, where it publishes one.
Before you order
Put your own cart into the cost calculator to add the first-box deal and the tax, and to see four deliveries side by side. Every box after the first ships unless you skip it before the cutoff: find the cutoff and set a weekly reminder.

Questions about meal kit prices
What is the cheapest meal kit right now?
For three dinners for two, Dinnerly publishes the lowest complete bill, $83.92 for 3 recipes for 2 with shipping; EveryPlate states the lowest rate, $6.99 a serving before shipping. A stated rate leaves out shipping where the maker puts it in the cart, so it is not a whole bill. Change the household above to see the order for yours.
Why not use the first-box price?
The first box is discounted on purpose and applies once. Every box after it is charged at the full price shown here, so that is the number to plan with. Our cost calculator adds your first-box deal back for the first delivery only.
Why do some services have no price here?
Blue Apron prices each dish in its shop, so there is no box total to add up. Daily Harvest prices each item in its shop, so the box total depends on what you pick. Gobble publishes no price on its own pages; it shows one only in its sign-up steps. Green Chef shows box prices after you enter a ZIP code. Sunbasket shows the box total in its cart. Each row says where to find the price.
How often are these prices checked?
Every price is re-read from the maker’s own page each week, and each row shows the date it was last read. A price that could not be read keeps its last date rather than disappearing.
Every price comes from the maker’s own plan or price page; see our sources and how we compare. No link here is paid, and no payment changes the order.
