How much does Factor cost?

Our pricing is designed to be as flexible as your lifestyle! Because the cost per meal depends on your plan size and any active seasonal promotions, we recommend checking your personalized pricing directly through your account or our homepage.

New to Factor?

If you’re thinking about joining the Factor fam, the easiest way to see our latest pricing (including any new customer offers) is right on our website:

Head to our homepage.
Click “Get Started.”
Choose your weekly meal plan (6–36 meals per week).
As you adjust your plan, you’ll see the price per meal and estimated weekly total update automatically, so you can find the option that fits your routine.

Already a Factor customer?

You can check your exact pricing anytime in your account:

On Web:Log in and go to Settings → Plan Settings (or Manage Subscription) to view your current per-meal price and shipping cost.

In the App:Tap the Profile icon, then select Plan Settings to see your active plan details.

A few things to keep in mindMore meals, better value: Larger weekly plans typically lower your cost per meal. Premium options: Select add-ons or premium meals may include an additional charge, which is always clearly marked.

What are Factor Freebies?

Think of Freebies as a "thank you" for being a loyal customer. As you progress through your subscription, you’ll occasionally earn Free Box credits (a $78 value) to gift to friends and family. It’s the perfect way to help your inner circle kickstart their healthy habits.

Each Freebie covers the cost of a 6-meal box ($78). Your friend just covers the shipping fee. If they choose a larger plan or add any premium extras, they’ll simply pay the difference.

Redeeming a Freebie signs the recipient up for a standard Factor subscription. They can choose to keep the momentum going or cancel anytime before their next cutoff.

Head to the "Feed Friends" tab in the top right corner of your account. If you have Freebies available, you can enter your friend's email and send the invite directly.

Note: If you don't see any Freebies yet, you’ll see our Referral Program "Give & Get" offer instead, which earns you account credit!

Do Freebies expire? Yes, so don't let them go to waste: Once a Freebie lands in your account, you have 21 days to send it. Once the referrasl is sent, they have 60 days to claim their box.

Freebies are strictly for gifting—they are about sharing the love. If you’re looking to earn credits for your own future boxes, use your Referral Link (the "Give $40, Get $40" offer) instead.

How do I cancel an add-on subscription?

You can easily cancel your add-on subscription any time before your weekly cutoff of Wednesday 11:59 pm CST.

To cancel an add-on subscription:

  • In the add-ons section, click "Edit add-ons".
  • Find the subscription you want to cancel under "Your add-ons".
  • Uncheck the box that says "Subscribed".
  • Confirm by clicking "Unsubscribe from add-on".
  • Click “Save” to confirm the changes to your box.

    Once confirmed, you’ll no longer receive the add-on unless you manually add it, or start a new add on subscription.

    NOTE: Add-ons will be charged with your meal box directly after the weekly cutoff, seen on your My Menu Page, the week prior to your scheduled delivery.
When will I be charged for my add-on subscriptions?
You’ll be charged for your add-on subscriptions, together with your meal box, the week prior to your scheduled delivery. To find a breakdown of your order total, including the quantity and price of your add-ons, go to the specific week and click View Order Total.
How can I change the quantity of a subscribed add-ons?

The quantity of add-ons you originally subscribed to will be your default quantity for future week. You can change the quantity of your add-ons for future weeks by visiting your account before your weekly cutoff the week prior to your scheduled delivery.

To change the quantity of your add-on for a specific week:

  • Click "Select add-ons" or "Edit add-ons" to find your add-on subscription.
  • Tap on '-' minus or '+' plus.
  • Follow the prompts to select the new amount you want.
  • Choose either "Get X in this box only" or "Get X in every future box". If you choose every box, we’ll prompt you to confirm the new price of your add-on subscription.
  • Click "Save" to confirm the changes to your box.

    When you skip an add-on, you won’t receive it for that given week, but we’ll keep your subscription active for all other weeks, unless you skip or cancel. You’ll still receive your meals, unless you skip the week for your entire box.

Are your meals entered into nutrition apps?
We currently enter our meals into LoseIt and Carb Manager - if you use any of these apps, then you don't have to enter in the macros for individual meals, as we do that work for you! Simply search “Factor, [Meal Name]” to find our meals. (Ex: Factor, Shredded Chicken Taco Bowl)
My Freezer Provisions box arrived at a different day/time than my other items. Is this normal?

Yes. Because the Freezer Provisions items arrive in a separate box, this can be expected with any order of our Freezer Provisions items! After your Freezer Provisions purchase has been processed, you will receive an order confirmation email including details informing you of this. Additionally, you will receive an email with a tracking link for your delivery once your order has been shipped.

Rest assured, we freeze our product at peak freshness and pack them with dry ice inside an insulated box to keep them safe and cold, in case you can’t get to your delivery right away.

How long can my Freezer Provisions box stay outside?

We freeze our product at peak freshness and pack them with dry ice inside an insulated box to keep them safe and cold, in case you can’t get to your delivery right away.

Still, despite shipping your box for maximum freshness, we recommend that you freeze your items upon receipt and do not keep your box outside for more than 6 to 8 hours after delivery.

If your Freezer Provision items appear thawed when you open the box, check for temperature:

  • If your product is below 40°F for 2 hours or less, you can enjoy your items right away or place them in the freezer to enjoy at a later date.
  • If your product is above 40°F, please discard the products and contact our Customer Care team for further assistance.
COVID-19

The health of our customers and the safety of our food has always been the #1 priority for Factor and while COVID-19 is very much top of mind to all of us these days, it is only one of many food safety concerns that the ready-to-eat meals businesses (such as restaurants, grocery stores and Factor) manage every day.

We take this responsibility seriously and always meet or exceed the ongoing guidance from the experts at CDC, FDA, USDA and Health Departments across all aspects of our business and are taking extra precautions to provide further assurance to our customers during this current pandemic.

  • Our kitchen and production facility undergoes a full, “deep” sanitation daily as well as multiple sanitation cleaning of all equipment throughout the day.
  • Employees are given a health screening as they arrive at work and are sent home if they are ill; all employees properly wash their hands every time they enter a food production area and always wear gloves and masks when they handle food. They are provided clean coats, which are changed at specific times during each day. Hair and beard nets have always been worn throughout our production facility with 100% compliance.
  • The Factor facility is permitted by the Health Department whose standards mirror or exceed those of the USDA, FDA and Illinois Department of Health. We operate with robust quality and food safety protocols which are designed specifically for our facility. And of course, our kitchen adheres to USDA cooking/cooling temperature requirements.
  • Employees who pack your weekly order wear masks and gloves when handling the packaged meals and equipment is regularly wiped down and sanitized.

    Here is a link to the FDA's frequently asked questions site regarding COVID-19.
