Our verdict

Soylent suits people who want ready-to-eat meals on a predictable per serving price and do not mind skipping the cooking step. A serving costs $2 to $4, which puts it at the top of the price per serving table, and a 25% introductory discount softens the first order.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Price per serving of $2 to $4 ranks first for this measure at 1
  • Product types cover prepared meals and breakfast and diets cover vegetarian, gluten free and high protein
  • Skip anytime is a yes, so a delivery can be passed over without a call
  • A 25% introductory discount takes the edge off the opening order
  • Support runs on email, help centre and community

Cons

  • Product types cover prepared meals and breakfast, and a recipe box format is not among them, unlike HelloFresh's meal kit, family meals and diet meals
  • Shipping runs only in US and CA, which leaves readers outside the US and Canada without delivery
  • Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone or chat listed
  • Introductory discount of 25% applies at entry, so the regular serving price of $2 to $4 sets the pace afterwards

Who it suits

  • People in the US and Canada who want food that arrives ready to eat
  • Readers who rank first on price per serving and prefer prepared meals to recipe boxes
  • Households eating vegetarian, gluten-free or high-protein meals

Who should look elsewhere

  • Cooks who want a recipe box, since product types cover prepared meals and breakfast and HelloFresh lists meal kit, family meals and diet meals
  • Readers outside the US and Canada, since markets are US and CA
  • Shoppers who need a wider product spread, since Hungryroot lists meal kit, prepared meals and diet meals and Dinnerly lists meal kit, family meals and prepared meals

Core features

Soylent sells ready-to-eat food rather than a box of ingredients to chop. Product types cover prepared meals and breakfast, so the range is prepared meals and breakfasts, and the full menu is short rather than a weekly recipe box. Diets cover vegetarian, gluten free and high protein, which covers the common needs without a separate diet plan for each one. The number that separates Soylent from the brands next to it is the price per serving of $2 to $4, the lowest on the table for this measure, and the site records that ranking at 1. The catch is that these are single servings to drink or eat on the go, not a family table spread. Ordering is a subscription, and you can skip anytime, which the terms confirm as a yes, so a delivery can be passed over without contacting anyone. The other number to weigh is the introductory discount of 25%, which applies when you join. Once that first discount is used, the regular serving price of $2 to $4 is what sets the pace, so read the entry price and the ongoing price as two separate figures rather than one.

The company behind it

Soylent trades as Soylent Nutrition, Inc., which is the legal entity named in the terms, and the headquarters country is US. Delivery is limited to US and CA, so the service is a North American one and readers elsewhere will not find it shipping. Support runs on email, help centre and community, which is a written route rather than a phone line. For a food service that sends subscriptions on repeat, that matters: most questions are about an order, a delivery date or a change to a plan, and those are handled by email or answered in the help centre. The community option is there for everything else. Taken together, this is a US company with a narrow, repeatable product and written support, which suits a straightforward subscription rather than a service built on live help.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Soylent serving cost?+

A serving costs $2 to $4, and that is the measure on which the site ranks it first, at 1. Because there is no plan tier, the serving price is the number to hold on to when you compare it with a recipe box subscription.

What does Soylent sell, exactly?+

Product types cover prepared meals and breakfast, so the range is ready-to-eat meals and breakfasts. Nothing has to be chopped or cooked, which sets it apart from a box of raw ingredients that needs prep before every serving.

Can I skip a Soylent delivery?+

Skip anytime is a yes in the terms, so you can pass over a delivery without arranging it in advance. That makes the subscription easy to pause during a busy stretch, then resume later without ending the plan.

Is there a discount for a first Soylent order?+

There is an introductory discount of 25% for new customers. Treat it as an entry price only, and check the regular serving price of $2 to $4 for what follows once the discount has been used.

Where does Soylent deliver?+

Delivery runs in US and CA, so it covers the US and Canada. Readers in other countries will not find a shipping option, and a plan should be checked against your own address before signing up.

How do I get help from Soylent?+

Support runs on email, help centre and community, so questions go by email, through the help centre or via the community. A phone or chat route is not among them, so a delivery problem is handled in writing rather than on a call.

Which diets does Soylent cover?+

Who is behind Soylent?+

The company is Soylent Nutrition, Inc., and the headquarters country is US. It is a US business shipping within US and CA, with written support rather than a phone line.
