Strengths and trade-offs

Chefgood

Calorie-controlled weight loss with chef-style meals under 400 calories

  • Full macros and kilojoule counts shown on every meal tile, with most mains under 400 calories
  • Bulk pricing steps down as you order more, from around $11.20 per meal at 5 meals to $10.36 at 14
  • No lock-in subscription: pause or cancel before the Wednesday cut-off
  • Menu is around 40 to 60 items, smaller than some larger competitors
  • Free shipping only kicks in on recurring orders of $125 or more
  • Not available in WA or NT, so coverage is east coast plus SA and TAS

FoodSt

Home style, multicultural frozen meals with no subscription

  • Order a la carte with no subscription: buy single meals, sides, soups or desserts as you need them
  • Over 100 dishes from 40 plus home cooks across 26 plus cuisines, including Italian, Indian, Malaysian, Mexican and Chinese
  • Portion sizes scale from single serves up to family trays, for example lasagne from 500g to 2.3kg
  • No calorie or macro information published for most meals, so it is hard to track nutrition
  • Delivery limited to NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and QLD, with rates varying by postcode unless you pay for membership
  • Per meal prices sit above typical prepared meal services, with many single serves in the low $20s

THR1VE

Macro tracked low carb and high protein eating

  • Clear published price ladder: $12.95 per meal at 10, down to $9.95 at 25
  • Full macros and a per serve nutrition panel, ingredients and allergens on every meal
  • Chilled not frozen, ready in about 2 minutes, with a target of at least 7 days fridge life
  • Not national: no delivery to TAS or NT, and site pages conflict on whether SA is served
  • $89 minimum food order per delivery, so small top-up boxes are not possible
  • Single delivery window starting Saturday after a Friday pack, which suits weekend restocking only

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.
