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 is the relationship between my Factor and HelloFresh Accounts?
Factor and HelloFresh are both part of the HelloFresh Group. This means that when you sign up for Factor using the same email address as your HelloFresh account, you can use your existing account to auto-fill your information.
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.

What is the difference between Refer-a-Friend and Factor Freebies?

With our Refer-a-Friend program, you can send your unique referral link to your friends and family members. They’ll receive up to $150 off across their first 6 orders (this is a multi-week discount designed to make sticking to their goals effortless) and you'll receive a $40 credit on your Factor account!

Factor Freebies are free meals that you earn for reaching a certain milestone with Factor! They have a $78 value and can be shared with friends and family who have never had a Factor subscription.

Please note that we are unable to combine these offers.

Can I earn referral credit for a new customer signing up with my Factor Freebies?
No. At this time, we are not able to combine offers, and our referral program would not be valid in conjunction with Factor Freebies.
Is the person I gift my Factor Freebies to required to sign up for a subscription?
When using Factor Freebies, your friend would agree to the terms and conditions of our weekly, subscription-based service. However, there is no contract, and your friend can skip a week(s) or cancel at any time- it's quick and easy! Please note that our cutoff to cancel your subscription is the Wednesday prior to the delivery cutoff as seen on your My Menu page.
How can Factor meals support weight loss?

While our meals are not designed specifically for weight loss, they can help you meet your nutrition-related goals depending on how you combine our meals with the other food you enjoy in a day. Our meals can make portion-controlled, balanced eating a consistent part of your routine.

For more direction on how to fit our meals into your weight-loss plan, click here to schedule a complimentary nutrition coaching session with a dietitian from our nutrition team.

How much sodium is in Factor meals?
The sodium content of our meals can be viewed on the nutrition facts label. Currently, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming 2,300 mg of sodium or less per day for healthy adults. Factor’s meals average around 800 mg of sodium per meal, which can help you stay within this recommendation. We always recommend speaking with your doctor prior to ordering our meals to ensure we are a good fit!
Where can I see how many Factor Freebies I have to gift?
The number of eligible Freebies can be found by clicking on 'Feed Friends' at the top of your subscriber dashboard. If on a mobile device, click on the 3 horizontal lines and select 'Feed Friends.'
How soon can I get my first order?

We deliver Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on your zip code. Our cutoff for any new or modified orders is dependent on your delivery day. For Saturday and Sunday Deliveries, the cutoff is Tuesday at 11:59 pm CT, one week prior to delivery. For all other delivery days, the cutoff will be Wednesday at 11:59 CT for deliveries the following week.

After your first order, you’ll start receiving a box of food every week! You will always have until your cutoff time to modify the order, including the meal selections, plan size, and billing and shipping information.

To ensure peak freshness, our chefs hand-prepare every meal to order. By waiting until after the weekly cutoff to source our ingredients, we guarantee you receive the highest quality produce while helping us minimize food waste.

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.

    Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Experience Team with any questions by calling 888.573.5727.
If I experienced a food safety issue with my box, ingredient(s), and/or specific meal-kit, what should I do?
At Factor, the safety and quality of our ingredients is our highest priority. In the event that you experience a food safety issue or concern with your order, please reach out to our Customer Care team. You will be directed to a specialized team of food safety agents who provide dedicated support and assistance. To better aid our investigation process, we may ask for additional information regarding your order (i.e. recipe names, pictures, delivery and packaging information).
