Our verdict
Both are skip-anytime subscription kits with the same £4.99 delivery charge, but they target different priorities. HelloFresh is cheaper at £3.90 per meal (roughly £3.25-£7 by box size) with big rotating menus, 2-5 meals weekly and a lower-calorie 'Calorie Smart' range, though standard portions run high at 792 kcal. Green Chef costs more, from £6.30 up to around £9.50, but offers far more diet structure — Keto, High Protein, Calorie Conscious and Pescatarian among 35+ weekly recipes, with a stated 30g protein. HelloFresh covers Vegan and Vegetarian; Green Chef adds the specialist plans. Neither lists protein for HelloFresh or calories for Green Chef, limiting macro comparison. HelloFresh is the value and variety pick for general households; Green Chef justifies its premium for those committed to a specific diet plan. Price favours HelloFresh, specialism favours Green Chef.
HelloFresh
if you want lower prices, hearty portions and a broad everyday menu.
