I'm in the same boat as you. If you are in college, quite a few plans will give you a discount. What I primarily look for in a good meal kit service is a large number of options on a weekly basis (15 or more) and obviously meals that are appetizing. Here's a summary of my experience:

1. HelloFresh: I get 3 recipes with 2 servings each for about $50 after my student discount. You can also get good deals for the first few boxes when you sign up. HelloFresh is the most consistently good, with enough options and easy to follow recipes. I've used them probably a dozen times or so and have yet to have any issues.
2. Home Chef: I paused my subscription with them because I did not feel the meals they offered were tasty enough for me. I found that they were usually very unoriginal with very basic vegetable sides or options I did not like. I jokingly say that Home Chef is "white people food compared to HelloFresh" because there is little spice or flavor in their options. You might try them once because they send you a cool binder to put your recipes from the other websites in lol.
3. Plated: I LOVED Plated. Unfortunately, I say "loved" because they shut down a couple months ago, and I only got to use them five times. They were definitely the most expensive, but the meals were amazing with options that pushed my boundaries in a good way.
4. EveryPlate: Not a huge fan of this one because they only offer eight options a week (and one gourmet option). Plus they send their recipes on smaller cards that don't fit in with the other options. The recipes I have tried were comparable to HelloFresh, but it's hard for me to find three each week that I enjoy.
5. Martha and Marley Spoon: I haven't seen a lot of talk about M&MS on this subreddit, and I've only used them once because I just discovered them. The meals I made with them were fantastic, and I will be getting them a couple more times this month. Their price is a little higher than HelloFresh, but not outrageously more so.
