Why We Chose It: With Jerky.com the options are plentiful, and you're totally in control of your jerky supply.

Many jerky subscriptions lure you in with slick branding, savvy marketing, promises of expert curation, and free shipping. But they don't tell you exactly how much jerky you'll be getting or what the flavors will be. And if you don't like something, you may not be able to return it, even if you never opened the product.

Jerky.com eliminates this risk of disappointment. For one thing, the company has been in the jerky game since 2008. It's no fly-by-night startup riding the subscription box trend. Next, you curate your own box from over 100 different jerky options, so you know what you'll be getting and how much. Last, you can return any unopened product (not that you would, since you know what you're getting) within 30 days and get a refund, no questions asked.

You can order from one to 12 bags per month on a fixed or ongoing basis. Flavor choices are virtually unlimited, ranging from Original to Raspberry Jalapeno to Chipotle Bourbon—plus there's biltong, a type of cured meat similar to jerky. Prices start at around $8 for one bag per month and top out near $150 for 12 bags. No matter how many bags you sign up for, shipping is a flat charge of about $5.

Why We Chose It: JerkyGent is a slickly curated craft jerky box backed up by loads of positive customer reviews.

You know the old story. Once upon a time, two enthusiastic entrepreneurs got tired of mass-market gas station jerky and set out to change the world. Well, it turns out they did, and you can read about it in scores of five-star reviews like this one: "This is probably the best subscription I've ever had. I mean, you get the best quality jerky from around the world shipped right to you every month." Isn't it awesome when promises are fulfilled?

JerkyGent specializes in small-batch craft jerky made with sophisticated flavors and natural ingredients. Your monthly box may hold jerky from brands like Uncle Andy's, Righteous Felon, Craft Beer Jerky, and Charqui, with flavors from BBQ Peach to Bloody Mary to Spicy Coffee. But Jerky Gent also knows that some people want traditional flavors, so the company allows you to choose your flavor profile and heat level.

JerkyGent has three subscriptions: The Mini gets you at least two bags of jerky for about $16. The Classic is four bags for around $28. And the XL ships eight bags for roughly $55. All subscriptions are ongoing, with no long-term commitment. You can adjust your flavor preference, skip a month, or cancel any time.

Why We Chose It: Three Jerks makes filet mignon jerky for people who want the most premium product.

You may have seen Jordan Barrocas and Daniel Fogelson pick up their third "jerk" on Shark Tank when they got a deal from Daymond John. John, the CEO of FUBU, loved the genius of taking a commoner's snack and elevating it to the level of the aristocracy. It's a brilliant branding move. The idea of filet mignon jerky grabs the attention. What jerky fanatic wouldn't want to try it?

Three Jerks makes five flavors of filet mignon jerky: Original, Chipotle Adobo, Maple Bourbon, Memphis BBQ, and Teriyaki. The company also produces grass-fed beef jerky in Original, Memphis BBQ, and Teriyaki flavors. You can subscribe to all of these jerkies, in any combination, via auto-delivery, which you can set up to ship as often as weekly to as infrequently as every six months.

All filet mignon jerkies sell for $11.19 per 2-ounce bag—grass-fed jerkies costs around $8 per 2 1/4 ounces. As a subscriber, you'll receive 10 percent off your total order, regardless of delivery frequency, and you can edit your order and delivery schedule at any time. Shipping is $5 for economy (4-10 business days) and $10 for standard (3-5 business days).

Why We Chose It: Eat jerky, support youth, and have fun: that's what Stick In A Box is all about.

Stick In A Box is the jerky subscription straight out of Spencer's gag gifts. The vibe is irreverent, obnoxious, crass, and yet endearing. If you love jerky, but you don't take it too seriously, or if you want to get your 12-year-old nephew a sweet-and-salty birthday gift, Stick In A Box might be the way to go.

Stick In A Box is run by Samson Drake, whose dad bought the business from founder Dana Severson in 2019. Subscribing will get you a monthly box of jerky, a few chuckles, and the knowledge that you're helping a young man learn about running a business.

What's actually in the box? Drake writes, "We're meat servants, not meat clairvoyants. We have no idea what's to come, but that's what makes it exciting."

There are three subscription levels: The Lite Knight gets you two bags of jerky and a beef stick for around $18. The Gladiator box holds at least four bags and two sticks for about $42. And The Office Jerk contains between 15 and 21 products for roughly $85. Shipping is flat $3 for The Lite Knight and free for the other two options.

Why We Chose It: Jerky Dynasty takes you deeper into the jerky world than any other subscription service.

There's no doubt that beef is the king of jerky. If you hear the word "jerky," you'll most likely think about beef jerky by default. But why? Jerky can be, and is, made from all kinds of meat. Thousands of years ago, before refrigeration, every kind of meat imaginable must have been dried by people needing to preserve the rewards of the hunt.

If you're ready to go beyond beef and explore the whole wide world of preserved animal flesh, Jerky Dynasty's Dynasty Club is the subscription for you. You'll still get plenty of beef, but you'll also get to sample jerkies made from elk, buffalo, lamb, ostrich, reindeer, wild boar, snake, camel, alligator, and more.

The company's Dynasty Club box is available in two sizes: With the Lite box, you'll get 8 to 12 ounces of jerky for around $40. The standard Dynasty Club box delivers 16 to 24 ounces for roughly $55. Both subscriptions are recurring and include free shipping. You can adjust your subscription or cancel at any time.

Why We Chose It: People's Choice Beef Jerky simply offers an exceptional mix of products.

Based in Los Angeles since 1929, People's Choice is a family business going back four generations. This family knows their jerky because they've been making it by hand for nearly 100 years. Plus, the jerky is very reasonably priced.

People's Choice has created a very thoughtful variety of beef jerkies. The company doesn't just add different flavors and seasonings to the same beef to make its distinctive products. Instead, it utilizes various techniques and processes, in addition to diverse flavors, to produce discrete styles such as Old Fashioned (drier, thick-cut, sugar-free), Classic (thin cut, smoky, sweet), Carne Seca (a unique style from Northern Mexico and the Southwest U.S.), and even Machaca jerky chew.

People's Choice also offers multiple themed boxes: Sweet Jerky, Mild Jerky, Spicy Jerky, Keto Jerky, and the one-of-everything Jerky Sampler, as well as a similar range of smaller gift boxes called Jerky Grams.

You can subscribe to anything, and everything offered on the site, whether it's a single 2.5-ounce bag ($6.99) or the one-of-everything Sampler box ($84.99). When you subscribe, you also get five percent off the cost of your entire order. Shipping is $7.50 for all orders up to $85; shipping is free for orders over that amount.
