Side by side
 Chefgood |  Youfoodz | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per meal | $11.50 | Not published |
| What that covers | 10 meal plan (5 dinners + 5 lunches) on an ongoing weekly subscription. Individual meals are priced $11.20 to $13.90, most sitting around $11.75, with a 2% discount applied at the 10 meal size. The advertised $10.98 per meal applies only to the cheapest meals. | No price table was published: plan pricing only appears after entering a postcode and choosing a box size. The only figure shown is a promotional "from $9.29/meal" headline, which reflects the largest plan size and discounted rates rather than a typical ongoing 10 meal order. |

Chefgood
Best for: Calorie-controlled weight loss with chef-style meals under 400 calories
A solid pick for calorie-controlled eating, with clear nutrition panels and structured Slim & Trim or Personal Best plans rather than just a build-your-own box. Best value if you order 10 or more meals a week and can clear the $125 free shipping threshold.
- 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
- 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
Youfoodz
Best for: Busy households wanting fresh, no-prep meals with a big weekly menu
A strong pick if you want fresh heat and eat meals with plenty of weekly variety and dietary ranges from calorie controlled to high protein, and you live in a metro area or a decent sized regional centre. The catch is pricing transparency: you will need to run a postcode and plan size through checkout to see what you actually pay once the introductory offer ends.
- 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
- No lock-in contract: skip, pause or cancel before the weekly cut-off, and a registered NDIS provider
- 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
- Shipping is charged and varies by location, with higher fees possible in regional areas
