Dinnerly
Best for: Budget-conscious families cooking quick weeknight dinners
A budget-first meal kit for households who want to cook simple dinners quickly without paying premium kit prices. Best value if you order larger boxes and lean on the Saver recipes, since the flat shipping fee hits small orders hardest.

- Very large weekly choice, with 300+ recipes and filters for kid friendly, carb conscious, vegetarian and vegan
- Five-ingredient recipes with most meals ready in 20 to 30 minutes
- Flexible subscription: skip, pause or cancel with 7 days notice
- Shipping adds $11.99 per box, which lifts the real cost of small orders noticeably

My Foodie Box
Best for: Households wanting an Australian owned meal kit with dietary filters and eco packaging
A local alternative to the big meal kits for households that want to cook, with grass fed and free range sourcing and strong dietary filtering. Worth checking the price at your chosen box size, since the small box rate is well above the advertised starting price.
- Weekly menu of roughly 27 to 40 recipes with filters for low carb, low calorie, gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian
- Choice of 2, 3 or 4 serve portions and 3 to 5 recipes a week, so it scales from couples to families
- Recyclable and compostable packaging, plus the old box is collected when the new one is delivered
- No lock-in contract: skip, pause or cancel before the Monday cut-off
- Flat $9.95 delivery fee on every box adds to the cost of smaller orders
- Per serve price of $15.33 on a small 2 serve, 3 recipe box is steep next to the $6.25 headline rate
- No kilojoule or macro figures published alongside the menu, only dietary tags
- Delivery is limited to selected eastern states and WA rather than nationwide
