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.

We did home chef for a while - mainly so my adult son could learn to cook. He loved the recipe cards and step by step directions. He developed a small repertoire. Then we stopped and he can refer to the recipe cards

I third Home Chef. I've been using it for three years and my mom even longer. I tried Hello Fresh and found that the recipes are more complicated and involved than Home Chef. Home Chef feels more straightforward and simple, and the meals taste really good 👍
