Factor is a prepared / ready-to-eat meal service with a large filterable catalog. You reheat finished plates; you do not cook a kit. Freeze and shipping logistics can vary by pack: confirm on the product page. Coverage is often broad in the US, but we still fail loud until your ZIP is checked.
Best for / Not for
- Best for: busy weeks, filterable protein browsing, and shoppers who want a predictable national-style prepared menu.
- Not for: hard never-frozen rules without checking the SKU, or anyone who wants to cook a meal kit.
Price band
Price takeaway: We do not publish a fake per-meal number. Plan size and promos move the total. Verify at checkout. Intro promo is not the renewal price; first-box deals are not the ongoing rate.
