Our verdict

Factor suits households in DE that want ready-made meals, flexible deliveries and a compact menu of 24 recipes per week. Its 30% introductory offer makes the first box the cheapest entry point, while the shorter menu and single market coverage are worth weighing against broader services.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Skipping is available, so a delivery can be held off whenever the week gets busy
  • Diet options include keto, low calorie and high protein in the same plan, so macro goals do not need a second subscription
  • An introductory offer of 30% cuts the cost of a first box
  • Support runs through email, phone and help centre, so phone help sits alongside email and self-service

Cons

  • A menu of 24 recipes per week trails the prepared meal delivery median, which sits at 45
  • Product types stop at prepared meals and diet meals, where HelloFresh covers meal kit, family meals and diet meals
  • Deliveries reach DE only, so anyone living outside that market has no route to the service

Who it suits

  • People in DE who want ready-made prepared meals and diet meals without cooking from scratch
  • Households chasing keto, low calorie and high protein goals who value holding off a delivery whenever plans change
  • New customers drawn to an introductory offer of 30% and a short, predictable menu

Who should look elsewhere

  • Cooks who want a kit of raw ingredients: HelloFresh spans meal kit, family meals and diet meals
  • Shoppers wanting breakfast or desserts next to prepared plates: Hungryroot lists meal kit, prepared meals and diet meals
  • Readers who want breakfast from a prepared-meal service: Soylent pairs prepared meals and breakfast, while Factor's range stays at prepared meals and diet meals

Core features

Factor delivers finished meals rather than a box of ingredients to chop, so the work stops at the door and the microwave. The menu runs 24 recipes per week, which is a short rotation. Dishes return sooner than at services built around a much longer list, so the trade is a compact set you learn well against a bigger one you pick from each week. Skipping is available, and that is the practical lever for busy stretches. A difficult fortnight does not mean paying for meals nobody will cook, and a week that does not suit can be held off rather than squeezed into. Price at entry and price at renewal are separate numbers, and only the first is discounted. Factor advertises an introductory offer of 30%, so the cheapest way in is a first subscription at the reduced rate. That offer covers entry, and the deliveries that follow at the standard plan rate are the ones that decide whether the habit holds. Work out the per-serving cost of the plan you are quoted at checkout before the first box lands.

The company behind it

The brand runs as Factor 75 B.V., registered in the Netherlands. Knowing the legal name behind the label matters whenever an order goes wrong, a refund is owed or a plan needs changing, because the entity named in the terms is the one that has to answer. Support reaches you through email, phone and help centre. That mix covers the usual cases. A phone call suits something urgent, such as a delivery that never arrived. Email suits a question you want written down and kept on file. The help centre suits anything you would rather resolve yourself before touching a menu. Taken together, the setup puts human help on one end of the service and self-service on the other, so the route you pick depends on how much of the conversation you want to hold.

Frequently asked questions

How many recipes a week does Factor offer?+

Factor lists 24 recipes per week. That sits below the prepared meal delivery median on the site, which stands at 45, so the same dishes return sooner than with a longer rotation.

Can I skip a delivery?+

Yes. Skipping is available, so a delivery can be held off when plans change rather than paying for meals nobody will cook. With a menu of 24 recipes per week, pausing is the practical way to keep the plan flexible.

Is there a discount for a first order?+

Factor advertises an introductory offer of 30%. Treat it as the price at entry rather than a standing rate, and check what the deliveries that follow cost once the introductory period has passed.

What kinds of meals does Factor sell?+

The range is prepared meals and diet meals, with diet options keto, low calorie and high protein. That means ready-made plates delivered to the door rather than a kit of raw ingredients, so there is no chopping and no shopping list to work through.

Where does Factor deliver?+

Factor delivers in DE only, and the brand runs as Factor 75 B.V., registered in the Netherlands. The menu, terms and delivery options all follow that single market, so anyone living outside it has no route to the service.

How do I reach Factor support?+

Support runs through email, phone and help centre. That mix covers the usual cases: a phone call when something is wrong with an order, email when you want the answer written down, and the help centre for questions you would rather resolve yourself.

How does the cost compare with other services?+

Factor's headline price detail is the 30% introductory offer, which applies at entry. Set the per-serving cost of the plan you keep paying against the €7.88 per serving median across the site, since the entry rate is not the ongoing one.

What will I pay once the introductory offer has passed?+

The 30% introductory offer applies at entry, so the plan price you see at checkout is the rate that carries on afterwards. Budget from that per-serving figure rather than the entry rate, and use skipping when a delivery does not suit.

How does Factor compare with HelloFresh?+

Factor is a prepared-meal service with prepared meals and diet meals and 24 recipes per week. HelloFresh covers meal kit, family meals and diet meals, so Factor fits households that want finished plates and HelloFresh fits households that want to cook some weeks.
