Strengths and trade-offs

HelloFresh

Families who want to cook fresh dinners with pre-portioned ingredients

Published per serving price table across every household size and box size, so costs are easy to work out before ordering
33 or more recipes each week, plus lunches, desserts, sides and snacks that can be added to a box
Per serving cost drops sharply for bigger households, down to $8.59 a serve on a 6 person, 6 meal box
No delivery to Tasmania, and several regional areas carry conditions on availability
You still cook every meal, so it saves shopping and planning time but not cooking time
The advertised entry price relies on an eight week introductory discount, with ongoing rates near $11.69 a serve for a couple

Marley Spoon

Families and couples who enjoy cooking but want the planning and shopping done for them

Very large weekly choice, with 200-plus recipes plus ready meals and Market grocery extras
Plans scale from 1 to 6 people and 2 to 6 meals a week, so it suits singles and big families
Preference filters for high protein (40g+), calorie conscious (under 599 cal), carb conscious, vegetarian and GLP-1 support
You still have to cook: most recipes take 20 to 45 minutes
Shipping is $11.99 on top of the box price, which stings on smaller orders
Delivery is limited to metro and surrounding areas of the major cities, with no NT coverage

How to read this comparison

Prices: The ongoing price at a typical order size: per meal for ready-made meals, per serving for meal kits. First-order offers and delivery fees are not included. Prices checked 24 August 2026. Confirm at checkout.
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.
