Side by side
 Gourmet Dinner Service |  Youfoodz | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per meal | Not published | Not published |
| What that covers | No retail per-meal price table is published; meals are priced individually across meals for one, mains for two and family sizes, with a $75 minimum food order plus delivery. The only figure given is 'prices start at $4 per meal' for Support at Home customers paying a 30% co-payment, which is not representative of a standard retail order. | 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 | Free Intro Pack for new Support at Home customers: $100 retail value of meals with the usual $30 co-payment waived. | 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. |
| Customer rating | 3.8 / 5 from 20 reviews | 3.9 / 5 from 48,760 reviews |

Gourmet Dinner Service
Best for: Aged care and NDIS funded frozen meals with no subscription
A long-running frozen meal service that suits households wanting restaurant style comfort food without a subscription, and it is particularly well set up for Support at Home and NDIS funded customers. The lack of upfront per-meal pricing and the $75 minimum order make it harder to compare on cost.
- No subscription or lock-in contract: order only when you want
- Snap frozen with no preservatives or additives, so meals keep for up to 4 months in the freezer
- Over 100 dishes spanning single serves, mains for two, family sizes, sides and desserts
- Set up for Support at Home and NDIS funding, with a 30% co-payment option and phone ordering
- No published per-meal price list, so you need to browse the menu or enter a postcode to work out costs
- $75 minimum food order plus a delivery fee on top
- Delivery limited to NSW, VIC, QLD, ACT and SA, with no WA, TAS or NT coverage
- Meals cannot be customised, and dietary options are limited to filters rather than dedicated plans
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
