Dinnerly

Dinnerly cuts costs in small, deliberate ways that add up: recipe instructions live in an app instead of a printed card, ingredient lists stay shorter, and packaging uses fewer individual sauce packets than a premium kit, all in service of one of the lowest per-serving prices in the category. The weekly menu runs a similar size to EveryPlate’s, smaller than the big kits but enough variety for a rotating weeknight schedule.

Recipes stick to about 20 to 30 minutes of actual cooking, on the simpler end for the category, which suits someone who wants dinner solved quickly rather than a cooking project. Because Marley Spoon’s parent company runs both brands, Dinnerly benefits from the same delivery network without the smaller-operator hiccups you sometimes see from newer budget entrants. It’s a reasonable pick for anyone comparing per-serving cost above almost anything else on the menu.
