Informational only — not financial advice. Meal-kit prices change often and vary by plan, region and promotion. The figures here are the published list prices as of the data shown, exclude shipping and first-box promos, and are not the total cost of subscribing. Verify current pricing on the provider’s official site before you subscribe or budget.

Why format, not a “diet class”. The matrix records each service’s format, price band and plan structure; dietary tags are free-text per service, not a clean category — so we compare on the real format dimension and surface dietary options on each service’s page. Prices are published list rates from each service’s own page, verified as of 2026-06-11. How we compile this.
