Dinnerly vs Every Plate 2023

Although Dinnerly and EveryPlate’s options are more affordable than most meal kit delivery companies, it’s still important to look at what each of them offers. The Dinnerly recipes include beef, fish, chicken, and pork. If you’re not a meat-eater, you can make these dishes meat-free too. You’ll also find pasta, Asian-inspired dishes, and even dessert. If you prefer healthier meals, you can opt for their low-carb or gluten-free recipes. The EveryPlate recipes include chicken, fish, beef, and pork too. They also offer soups and meat-free dishes. EveryPlate doesn’t specifically cater to weight watchers, so if you’re health-conscious, you might find it difficult to eat everything that their menu offers. Because both services offer dinners at a low cost, they don’t account for dietary preferences or allergies. Dinnerly makes a bit more room for vegetarians, but EveryPlate only offers limited options. There isn’t a big difference in prices, but Dinnerly wins this round because the meals are a few cents cheaper on large orders.

Because both services offer dinners at a low cost, they don’t account for dietary preferences or allergies. Dinnerly makes a bit more room for vegetarians, but EveryPlate only offers limited options. Both companies have meals that are easy to prepare, the instructions are easy to follow, and you will also get recipe cards with your order so you will have your meal ready in under an hour in both cases. Dinnerly promises antibiotic-free meats and claims that some, but not all of their ingredients, are organic. The company also states that they get all of their proteins and vegetables from USA suppliers. EveryPlate doesn’t offer too much information on the source of their ingredients but you can see the exact ingredients of each dish on their website. Dinnerly is the winner this round because it offers more information on what their meals contain.

The worst thing about ordering meal kits is usually the amount of packaging that comes with the meals. Meal delivery services have to go to great lengths to keep your food safe, which means more waste. However, there are solutions that companies can employ to care for the environment. Although both companies offer recyclable packaging, Dinnerly is one step ahead, as they provide detailed information on how to discard each packaging item. Dinnerly also has a simple website that is easy for first-timers to navigate. First, you’ll have to choose how many meals you would like per week and how many servings to include. Then you’ll be redirected to the menu where you can read more about each recipe and see an ingredient list. Once you’re done, it’s smooth sailing from there. The EveryPlate website has a user-friendly layout too. All meals are priced the same, so if you’re using their services for the first time, you won’t have any difficulty scrolling through their menu. In this case, both companies win.

When something goes wrong with your order, you want an immediate response when you make a phone call to the responsible company. With Dinnerly, we’ve only experienced minor issues. But when they did happen, we contacted the company by phone, as it’s the fastest way to resolve problems. Other than that, the website’s FAQ section was pretty helpful, as it answered most questions instantly. Overall, we’ve had a positive experience with EveryPlate. Their customer care line is friendly and to the point and they get the win here. The company answered all questions and solved any problems within minutes. 

Unfortunately, not all food delivery services are available to all states. That’s why you need to check the availability before you commit to any service. Luckily you can quickly check this on both Dinnerly and EveryPlate’s websites by entering your zip code. Both companies deliver to all continental states, which means that if you’re from Alaska or Hawaii, you’ll have to start looking at other meal kit companies. It’s a draw here.

Dinnerly promises antibiotic-free meats and claims that some, but not all of their ingredients, are organic. The company also states that they get all their proteins and vegetables from suppliers within the USA. EveryPlate doesn’t offer too much information about the source of their ingredients, but you can see the exact components of each dish on their website. Both companies keep their prices low, so you can’t expect super high-quality ingredients. Even so, both companies are acceptable in terms of ingredients. However, Dinnerly wins this round, as they offer more detailed information on their ingredients. 

If you’re worried that meal kits can become repetitive, add ons can spice up your life. These are extra dishes or snacks that you can add to your weekly meal kits. Each week, Dinnerly has two sweet snacks added to their menu. You can also add extra protein with a variety of meats each week. EveryPlate is all about keeping your weekly spendings to a minimum, so they don’t have many add ons available on their menu. They only offer protein packs for those who would like more meat with their meals. In short, both menus have extra protein options, but Dinnerly has the upper hand thanks to their weekly desserts.
