Side by side
 Dinnerly |  EveryPlate | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per meal | $8.99 | Not published |
| What that covers | Per serving on a 3 recipes for 2 people box (6 servings), ongoing weekly subscription. Only price break shown; larger boxes may work out cheaper | No published price table. The site advertises "from $2.99 per plate" on some pages and "from $3.99 per meal" on the how it works page, with no stated plan size or ongoing rate, so a defensible standard per-serve price could not be established. Plans run 2 to 4 people across 3 to 5 nights per week and shipping is charged on top. |
