Chefgood
Best for: Calorie-controlled weight loss with chef-style meals 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
- Love It Or Swap It guarantee replaces a meal you do not enjoy in your next order
- 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
- Premium options such as the braised beef steak push close to $14 per meal
Soulara
Best for: Vegan and plant-based ready meals with published macros
A strong fit for vegans and anyone cutting back on animal products who wants heat-and-eat meals with clear macros and no cooking. Pricing is flat across bundle sizes, so there is no real reward for ordering big.
- Over 50 plant-based meals with cuisines from Italian and Mediterranean through to Indian, Mexican and Asian
- Full nutrition panel, macros and ingredient list published for every meal
- Flat $12.20 per meal pricing with pre-built bundles from 5 to 10 meals, plus 5% off for subscribers
- Flexible ordering: weekly, fortnightly or one-off, with skip, pause or cancel anytime
- Entirely plant-based, so no option for anyone wanting meat or seafood meals
- Delivery reaches 1,988 postcodes only, so some regional addresses miss out
