Our verdict

Factor serves US households that want prepared meals sorted by diet rather than raw ingredients to cook, with 35 recipes a week and skipping allowed at any time. The introductory discount of 50% makes the opening order cheaper, though the service runs in US only.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Diet filtering is built into the plan, with vegetarian, vegan and keto tracked separately so the menu narrows to the way you eat instead of one shared list.
  • 35 recipes a week is broad enough for most weeks while still leaving room to repeat a favorite.
  • Skipping is allowed anytime, and 97% of the brands compared allow the same, so pausing is standard rather than a favour.
  • The order covers more than dinner, since prepared meals, diet meals and breakfast lets breakfast and desserts ride along with the prepared meals.
  • Support runs on email and help centre, which handles delivery questions and diet changes without a call.

Cons

  • Support runs on email and help centre only, so anyone who prefers to phone has fewer options here.
  • Service covers US, which rules the brand out for anyone shopping outside that market.
  • 35 recipes a week sits under the prepared-meal delivery median of 45, so the range is narrower than the middle of the group.
  • Diet coverage stops at vegetarian, vegan and keto, leaving out gluten-free meals that 74.2% of the brands compared carry.

Who it suits

  • Households in US who want ready-to-eat meals rather than raw ingredients to cook.
  • People following a specific way of eating who want vegetarian, vegan and keto choices inside a weekly plan.
  • Shoppers who want one delivery to cover the whole day, with prepared meals, diet meals and breakfast including breakfast and desserts.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who wants to cook from raw ingredients: HelloFresh offers meal kit, family meals and diet meals, a range built around kits rather than ready meals.
  • Shoppers who want a tighter shelf: Soylent offers prepared meals and breakfast, without the separate diet meals and desserts Factor carries.
  • Buyers who want chat or phone help, since support runs on email and help centre.

What it does well

Factor opens with an introductory discount of 50%, which takes the edge off the opening order and keeps the first taste cheap. The weekly plan holds 35 recipes, enough for several different dinners in a row while still leaving room to order a favorite twice. Skipping is allowed anytime, so a holiday week or a busy stretch does not force a cancellation: the order pauses and picks up again later. Put together, the entry discount, the breadth of 35 recipes and the freedom to skip make the service an easy one to try before committing to a larger plan.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the first Factor order cost less?+

Factor runs an introductory discount of 50% on the opening order, which takes the edge off what you pay at the start. The plan that follows carries the same 35 recipes a week and the same freedom to skip, so the discount is the only part that changes.

How many recipes does Factor send each week?+

The weekly plan holds 35 recipes, enough to cover most evenings with a few portions spare for lunch or the freezer. The delivery mixes prepared meals, diet meals and breakfast, so breakfast and desserts can travel in the same box as the main dishes.

Can I skip a week or cancel my Factor plan?+

Skip anytime is available, so a week away does not need a cancellation. You pause the order, resume it later, and the plan still carries 35 recipes a week when it restarts. Help with the change runs on email and help centre.

Which diets does Factor cover?+

The menu is built around vegetarian, vegan and keto, so the plan can be filtered to a vegetarian, vegan, keto, low-calorie or high-protein style instead of one shared menu. Those diet meals sit inside the wider prepared meals, diet meals and breakfast range rather than replacing it.

Does Factor deliver outside the United States?+

Factor runs in the United States, so orders are placed inside that market only. Anyone outside it needs an alternative that serves their own country, because the 35 recipe week, the diet filters and the support setup all follow the market each service operates in.

How do I get help from Factor?+

Support runs on email and help centre, covering email and a help centre, which is enough for delivery questions, diet filters and skipped weeks. Phone lines are common in the category, with 62.8% of the brands compared offering one.

How does Factor compare with HelloFresh and Soylent?+

HelloFresh lists meal kit, family meals and diet meals, which points to cooking rather than reheating, while Soylent keeps prepared meals and breakfast. Factor sits with the ready-to-eat services and adds prepared meals, diet meals and breakfast on top, so the real choice is whether you cook the week or heat it.

Is Factor's weekly menu big enough?+

With 35 recipes a week, the plan is narrower than the prepared-meal delivery median of 45. For a household that happily repeats a few favorites that is plenty, and 50% off the opening order makes it a low-risk way to test the range.

What do prepared-meal services typically cost per serving?+

Across prepared-meal delivery brands the median price per serving is €8.32, with a middle band of €6.38 to €10.65. Factor's own serving price is worth weighing against that band, more so with 50% off the opening order.
