Follow the original service descriptions.

The short answer

Primary provider pages checked November 8, 2026. Menus, plan structures, offers, and terms can change.

Provider information

The links below are the primary sources for the service-format statements in this reference. Public marketing copy is treated as a provider description, not an independent product test. Checkout-specific prices and availability must be checked for the household placing the order.

Planning guidance

Equipment audits, scheduling checklists, serving arithmetic, and decision frameworks are original editorial guidance. They are intended to help readers make a comparison and do not claim measured savings. Calculations that use invented inputs are explicitly described as illustrative.

A practical verification sequence

Open the current menu, select the actual quantity and recipes, then review the full order summary. Record the date, delivery location, shipping, upgrades, and recurring amount. A screenshot of the final quote can make your own future comparison more reliable.

Limits of this source set

The directory covers a small group of meal-kit services. It does not establish which service is universally best, safest, healthiest, or fastest. Provider features may vary across countries and plan types; this reference is written for United States service comparisons.
