Side by side
 FoodSt |  Youfoodz | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per meal | $22.00 | Not published |
| What that covers | A la carte ordering with no fixed box sizes or subscription plan. Figure is the typical price of a single-serve main across sampled menu items (single serves ranged about $15.50 for a roti pie to $24 for a single-serve lasagne, with most mains $21 to $23). Larger family-sized trays are priced separately, for example lasagne at $39 for two serves, $68 for four and $110 for five to six. | 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. |
| Intro offer | Not published | Up to 40% off plus free add-ons for 12 weeks for new subscribers, advertised as up to $200 off in total, with free shipping on some offers. |

FoodSt
Best for: Home style, multicultural frozen meals with no subscription
Suits people who want genuinely home style, multicultural cooking and are happy to pay more for it, ordering dish by dish rather than committing to a weekly plan. Less suitable if you need calorie counted meals or live outside the eastern states and SA.
- Order a la carte with no subscription: buy single meals, sides, soups or desserts as you need them
- Over 100 dishes from 40 plus home cooks across 26 plus cuisines, including Italian, Indian, Malaysian, Mexican and Chinese
- Portion sizes scale from single serves up to family trays, for example lasagne from 500g to 2.3kg
- Full ingredient and allergen lists per dish, plus dedicated gluten sensitive, dairy sensitive, halal, vegetarian and vegan collections
- No calorie or macro information published for most meals, so it is hard to track nutrition
- Delivery limited to NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and QLD, with rates varying by postcode unless you pay for membership
- Per meal prices sit above typical prepared meal services, with many single serves in the low $20s
- Meals arrive frozen and several need oven baking rather than a quick microwave, for example lasagne takes 45 minutes and up
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
