Editor's Picks
Hand-selected by our editorial team
CookUnity
CookUnity is worth it if you treat it as restaurant dining you're reheating at home — the chef pedigree and menu ambition are genuine, but you're paying a premium for that distinction and the value math only works if you'd otherwise be ordering delivery or dining out. If you're comparison shopping against basic meal kits, the price gap is hard to justify.
Factor
Factor is the best option on the market if convenience is your top priority and you're willing to pay a premium for genuinely chef-quality, ready-to-eat meals — but at up to $14.99 per meal with a 6-meal weekly minimum, it's a hard sell for budget-conscious shoppers or anyone who actually enjoys cooking.
Trifecta
Trifecta is genuinely worth it if performance nutrition is your actual priority — the 95/100 nutrition score isn't fluff, and the organic, macro-balanced meals deliver where it counts. But at up to $16 per meal with a 7-meal weekly minimum, you're paying a real premium, and the value score of 68/100 reflects that honestly.

Green Chef
Green Chef earns its premium price tag if organic sourcing and specialized diets are non-negotiable for you, but at up to $13.99 per serving it's a hard sell for anyone who doesn't genuinely need keto, paleo, or plant-based structure baked into their weekly routine.
Home Chef
Home Chef earns its place as a solid mid-tier meal kit service, particularly for households that want genuine cooking flexibility without premium pricing — but its convenience score reveals it's not the hands-off solution some busy cooks are hoping for. At $7.99 per serving with free shipping, the value is real, but you're still doing meaningful kitchen work to get there.
HelloFresh
HelloFresh earns its popularity by nailing the basics — solid recipes, reliable ingredients, and a menu broad enough to keep weeknight cooking interesting — but the $10.99 shipping fee and mandatory minimum orders mean you're rarely spending less than $50 a week before you've chosen a single meal. It's genuinely good, just not as affordable as the marketing suggests.
