Dinnerly

Dinnerly is another strong budget-focused option, offering meals for around $5.99 per serving. It cuts costs by using digital recipe cards (viewable on a phone or tablet) instead of paper cards, and by limiting recipes to six ingredients or fewer. The meals are simple, family-friendly, and require basic cooking skills. It's owned by Marley Spoon, which provides recipe development backing.

Ideal for cost-conscious families wanting to avoid takeout, it provides a no-fuss entry into meal kits. It ranks for its successful ultra-low-price model and straightforward execution, though its simplicity and digital-only instructions may not appeal to all.
