Menu is around 40 to 60 items, smaller than some larger competitors
Free shipping only kicks in on recurring orders of $125 or more

Exclusive Appetite

Victorian households wanting flexible, no-subscription frozen meals

No subscription, lock-in contract or ongoing payments: you order as you need
Large menu of 70+ chef-prepared dishes including a substantial vegetarian and vegan range
Three portion sizes, including family meals that feed 4 adults or 2 adults and 4 kids
Victoria only, with rural customers limited to weekly delivery runs
Nutrition panels come on the packaging rather than being published on the menu, so you cannot compare kilojoules or protein before ordering
No breakfast options and no ability to customise or swap ingredients in a meal

Exclusive Appetite review Visit site

Youfoodz

Busy households wanting fresh, no-prep meals with a big weekly menu

Large rotating menu with 40 to 80 items a week plus snacks, juices and desserts
Meals are fresh, never frozen, ready in about two minutes and keep up to 9 days in the fridge
Coverage across all states and territories, including a long list of regional centres
Per meal prices are not published upfront: you must enter a postcode and pick a plan size to see them
Marketing leans heavily on a 12 week introductory discount, so the ongoing rate is hard to judge
Tasmania and the Northern Territory get limited coverage and only one to three delivery days a week

How to read this comparison

Prices: The ongoing price at a typical order size: per meal for ready-made meals, per serving for meal kits. First-order offers and delivery fees are not included. Prices checked 24 August 2026. Confirm at checkout.
Highlights: Green cells mark the lowest published price, the highest customer rating, the largest menu, the highest minimum protein, our highest score, and a Yes where the services differ. A row is only highlighted when every service compared has a value for it. Prices in different units and ratings from different review platforms are not highlighted.
Customer rating: Out of 5, with the review count and the platform the rating is from. It is a customer rating, not our score.
Our score: Out of 100: customer rating (35 points, weighted by review volume), disclosure of macros, calories and a real price (20), price against services of the same type (15), menu size (10), ordering flexibility (10) and delivery reach (10). Where a provider publishes nothing for a criterion, it is dropped and the rest are rescaled.
