When selecting the best meal box, it’s great to have a budget in mind-- but the cheapest isn’t always the best way to go. Home Chef is often rated as the cheapest option, alongside Dinnerly. Despite many recommending these options, research shows that they have poor reviews and customer service. EveryPlate tends to be more affordable than most, however, as does HelloFresh. HelloFresh is in the middle ground when it comes to customer satisfaction: it’s not in a concerning rating, but it also has quite mixed experiences.
