Where the numbers come from

Every figure in these tools has a named source. Prices, delivery fees, Trustpilot scores and category rankings come from our own reviews of the six big UK services, HelloFresh, Gousto, Mindful Chef, Riverford, Green Chef and Grubby, checked in July 2026, with box sizes re-verified on the providers’ own sites on 17 August 2026. National food-waste figures come from WRAP’s March 2026 survey. Where a tool uses an assumption instead of a measurement, it says so on the tool itself.

The tools are free, run entirely in your browser, and store nothing. If a number looks off, tell us and we will check it against the source. How we test the boxes themselves is documented in how we test.

Frequently asked questions

Are these tools really free?
Yes, free and sign-up-free. MealboxGuide earns a commission if you order a box through links on the site, which never affects prices, rankings or what the calculators show.
How often is the data updated?
Prices and ratings follow our review cycle: the current figures were checked in July 2026, with box sizes re-verified 17 August 2026. Each tool states its own data date in the footer.
Why is there no recipe cost calculator?
Because we do not yet track UK supermarket ingredient prices ourselves, and an ingredient calculator built on guessed prices would be worse than none. If we add one, it will be built on measured prices with a stated date, like everything else here.
