The app offers a variety of meal plans tailored to different dietary preferences and lifestyles, and it integrates with online grocery services for seamless shopping.

History

eMeals was founded in 2003 by Jane DeLaney in Birmingham, Alabama, initially offering printed meal plans. The concept emerged from DeLaney's desire to simplify meal planning for busy families. In 2010, the company transitioned to a digital platform, launching its app to reach a broader audience in the growing digital market^[1]

eMeals operates on a subscription basis, offering plans billed monthly, quarterly, or annually. As of 2024, the subscription costs are approximately:

These prices grant access to all meal plans, allowing users to switch between different plans as desired^[6]
