Marley Spoon is the only service here that publishes its full price table on a public help page, which makes it easy to check cost per serving. Ready to Cook boxes come for 2, 3, 4 or 6 people with 2 to 6 meals a week: 2 meals for 2 people cost $68.95, about $17.24 a serving, while 6 meals for 6 people cost $372.63, about $10.35 a serving. Every order adds a $12.99 shipping fee, and an order volume discount lowers the price as you add more to the basket. For single eaters, the Balance by Marley Spoon range sends prepared single-serving meals, from 6 meals for $93.93. The site lists 200+ chef-crafted recipes, 30+ prepared meals, 250+ Market essentials and 12+ supported diets, and menus are visible three weeks ahead. The price table also shows the weakness for this list's angle: smaller boxes cost far more per serving than EveryPlate or Home Chef. Large families who want a 6-person box get the best of it.
