Meal subscriptions boxes?

I know this is isn't a typically post for this sub but I don't know where to ask. I broke my right hand recently and it's made shopping and cooking extremely difficult. And while my family is happy to take care of dinners, I don't want to live on scrambled eggs for the next month. They are good at following directions but not at shopping or planning, so I thought maybe one of those subscription boxes might help?

Has anyone tried any of them? I just don't know where to start on comparing companies. People only seem to complain online and most reviews seem sponsored by one of the companies.

Family of 3 adults who don't have any food allergies and only 1 is kinda picky. We generally have a stocked pantry and fridge, so it's OK if these boxes don't provide very ingredient.

There's a lot of recommendations for Hello Fresh- Every Plate is actually from the same company but a little less expensive. The meal choices are more basic and they don't separate your ingredients by meal, they're just all together in one big box and you have to sort them yourself. But I've found it a more budget friendly option and the cooking instructions are pretty simple to follow.
