The top companies seem pretty similar from what I saw of their menus.

You might want to take a look at Sun Basket. We tried Hello Fresh and Blue Apron and Sun Basket.
For us, Sun Basket works best.
Sun Basket gives the option of only two meals each week, while with the others we tried it had to be three. Although the cost of the two meals is about the same as the cost of three with the others, and although Sun Basket charges shipping, we finally chose it. (Even though the cost per meal is more with Sun Basket, it is still less than what eating out could be.)
Sun Basket offers a lot of choices.
I think the quality is good. We usually order from the Paleo choices, not because we are on the “Paleo Diet” but because those meals are protein and vegetables. We often choose fish because that means — well — it means — we are eating some fish each week.
Sun Basket helps us to feel a little righteous about our food choices a couple times a week.
But — I gotta tellya, we really like meatloaf and mashed potatoes and peas, too. Our version of the food snobbery that exists ad nauseam these days is that we peel real potatoes and use real butter and sometimes we mix our microwaved, frozen peas in with our mashed potatoes when we are at the table.
Enjoy your meatloaf dinner tonight. I know we would.
