Strengths and trade-offs

Exclusive Appetite

Victorian households wanting flexible, no-subscription frozen meals

  • No subscription, lock-in contract or ongoing payments: you order as you need
  • Large menu of 70+ chef-prepared dishes including a substantial vegetarian and vegan range
  • Three portion sizes, including family meals that feed 4 adults or 2 adults and 4 kids
  • Victoria only, with rural customers limited to weekly delivery runs
  • Nutrition panels come on the packaging rather than being published on the menu, so you cannot compare kilojoules or protein before ordering
  • No breakfast options and no ability to customise or swap ingredients in a meal
Exclusive Appetite reviewVisit site

My Muscle Chef

High protein, macro tracked meals for training and body composition goals

  • Large menu of 155 listed items including 70 plus meals, snacks, drinks and bundles
  • Calories, protein, carbs and fat are shown on every meal tile, plus filters for calories, carbs and protein type
  • No subscription required: meals can be bought individually and cart contents changed each order
  • Standard meal prices of $10.95 to $12.95 sit at the higher end for ready meals
  • Premium PRO range costs more again at $12.95 per meal
  • Delivery is suburb by suburb rather than truly nationwide, so remote addresses need a postcode check
My Muscle Chef reviewVisit site

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. A row is only highlighted when every service compared has a value for it. Prices in different units and ratings from different review platforms are not highlighted.
Customer rating
Out of 5, with the review count and the platform the rating is from. It is a customer rating, not our score.
Our score
Out of 100: customer rating (35 points, weighted by review volume), disclosure of macros, calories and a real price (20), price against services of the same type (15), menu size (10), ordering flexibility (10) and delivery reach (10). Where a provider publishes nothing for a criterion, it is dropped and the rest are rescaled.
