Providoor
Best for: Chef-made restaurant-style frozen dinners without a subscription
Suits people who want restaurant-style dinners at home rather than a weekly meal plan, and who are happy to pay a premium for chef-branded frozen dishes. The $80 minimum, delivery fees and East Coast-only footprint make it a poor fit for cheap everyday lunches.
- Dishes created by name chefs including Marco Pierre White, George Calombaris, Manu Feildel, Silvia Colloca and Christine Manfield
- No subscription or weekly plan: order a la carte whenever you want
- Full nutrition panel, ingredients and allergens published on each product page
- Flash frozen with no preservatives, so meals keep for months in the freezer
- Expensive next to standard ready-meal services, with mains up to $32 a dish
- $80 minimum order plus a $15 metro delivery fee unless you spend $179 to $199
- Delivery limited to NSW, VIC and QLD East Coast areas
- Most dishes serve 2 or 4, so it suits couples and families more than single portioned eating
Soulara

A strong fit for vegans and anyone cutting back on animal products who wants heat-and-eat meals with clear macros and no cooking. Pricing is flat across bundle sizes, so there is no real reward for ordering big.
- Over 50 plant-based meals with cuisines from Italian and Mediterranean through to Indian, Mexican and Asian
- Full nutrition panel, macros and ingredient list published for every meal
- Flat $12.20 per meal pricing with pre-built bundles from 5 to 10 meals, plus 5% off for subscribers
- Flexible ordering: weekly, fortnightly or one-off, with skip, pause or cancel anytime
- Entirely plant-based, so no option for anyone wanting meat or seafood meals
- Delivery reaches 1,988 postcodes only, so some regional addresses miss out
