Dinnerly review: prices, menu and delivery
A budget-first meal kit for households who want to cook simple dinners quickly without paying premium kit prices. Best value if you order larger boxes and lean on the Saver recipes, since the flat shipping fee hits small orders hardest.
Best for
- Budget-conscious families cooking quick weeknight dinners

How this page works
- Prices
- Prices and delivery details checked 24 August 2026. First order offers are listed separately from the ongoing price. Confirm at checkout.
- Customer ratings
- From Trustpilot and ProductReview.com.au. These are third-party customer ratings, not ours, shown with the review count and the date they were checked.
- Comparison score
- Out of 100, calculated from published data only: customer rating weighted by review volume (35 points), whether macros, calories and a clear price are published (20), price against services of the same type (15), menu size (10), ordering flexibility (10) and delivery reach (10). Where a criterion cannot be scored it is left out and the rest are rescaled to 100. It is a comparison aid, not a test result. Paid placement does not change it.
