EveryPlate Menu & Prices 2026: Budget Meal Kit Plans

EveryPlate markets itself as America's cheapest mainstream meal kit, with a standard per-serving price that typically lands in the low-to-mid single digits - commonly around $4.99-$5.99 per serving depending on plan size and how many recipes you pick per week. New customers are almost always offered a much lower promotional per-serving rate on the first box. Because the exact figure shifts with plan size, recipes-per-week and the current promotion, treat any single number as indicative and confirm your real per-serving price in checkout on everyplate.com before subscribing.

The lowest per-serving cost comes from picking more recipes per week and more servings per recipe - i.e. the 4-people plan with 5 or 6 recipes a week spreads the flat shipping fee and overhead across the most meals. Choosing only 3 recipes for 2 people is the most convenient but the most expensive on a per-serving basis. Stacking the first-box promo on top gives the cheapest possible entry point, though that intro rate is one-time.

Yes. EveryPlate adds a flat shipping fee per box on top of the food cost. The exact shipping amount varies by plan and promotion, so we do not quote a fixed figure here - it is shown on the order summary at checkout. Because shipping is a flat per-box fee, ordering more recipes in a single box lowers the effective shipping cost per meal.

Every EveryPlate plan lets you choose 3, 4, 5 or 6 recipes per week, on either the 2-serving (2-people) or 4-serving (4-people) plan. You select that week's specific recipes from a rotating menu of roughly 30+ options, and you can change the count or skip a week anytime before the weekly cutoff.

Both are owned by the same parent company (HelloFresh SE), but EveryPlate is the budget brand. It runs a smaller weekly menu, simpler recipes, fewer add-on categories and less packaging in exchange for a noticeably lower per-serving price than HelloFresh. HelloFresh offers a larger weekly menu, more dietary filters and more premium options, but at a higher cost per serving. If price is the priority, EveryPlate is the cheaper of the two sibling brands.

Yes. Standard recipes are included at the base per-serving price, but Premium recipes - upgraded mains like steak, shrimp or salmon - carry a small per-serving surcharge. EveryPlate also offers optional add-ons such as extra proteins, quick sides, breakfast items and desserts in select weeks, each priced separately and added to your box total. All upcharges are shown before you confirm the box.

Yes. EveryPlate is a flexible subscription with no long-term contract. You can skip a week, pause, change your plan size or recipe count, or cancel entirely - all free of charge - as long as you make the change before that week's ordering cutoff (typically several days before delivery). Cancelling stops future boxes; it does not refund a box already locked in past the cutoff.

On a per-meal basis EveryPlate usually sits well below restaurant takeout and is competitive with - though not always cheaper than - buying the same ingredients yourself at the grocery store. The trade-off is convenience: you pay a modest premium over raw grocery cost for pre-portioned ingredients, no meal planning and almost no food waste. Versus other meal kits, EveryPlate is consistently one of the lowest-priced options available.

Yes. Each weekly menu includes a handful of vegetarian recipes (pasta, burrito bowls, veggie stir-fries and similar) and a selection of lighter calorie-smart options flagged on the menu for people watching calories. The budget brand carries fewer dietary filters than HelloFresh, so the vegetarian and calorie-smart counts per week are smaller - check the current week's menu to confirm availability before subscribing.

EveryPlate delivers to most of the contiguous United States (Alaska and Hawaii are generally excluded). Core per-serving pricing is broadly consistent nationwide, but your final cost depends on plan size, recipes per week, any Premium picks or add-ons, the flat shipping fee and whatever promotion is active.
