Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PREPT Meals at 100% against HelloFresh's 41%. PREPT Meals also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). HelloFresh's advantage is ratings volume (219K vs 29) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
