I tried Soylent before but I felt hungry pretty much immediately afterward.
A couple years back I tried out Huel, but I didn't quite get used to the flavoring. I find Queal's to be much less artificial-feeling and subtler. But it's probably all subjective.

Does any other meal replacement product have a published Glycemic Index number?
However it has huge cons compared to Soylent: it tastes a little bad (as opposed to Soylent, which can be described as mostly inoffensive) and has the mouthfeel and texture of watery sand. Also, it's not intended to be your only food source.
A couple of years ago I tried Huel Black and loved it. It’s way more satiating, healthier, and I actually enjoyed the taste. Unlike Soylent, it actually feels like food. I look forward to having it for breakfast each day.
My favorite flavors are Coffee Carmel and Chocolate. I highly recommend Huel Black over the regular Huel. Steer clear of the Cinnamon Roll flavor.
It's been fine; I have had a couple of bad batches (too salty / bitter), but they replaced them. Switching from Soylent's ready-made drinks to Huel's mix-with-water powder was a small adjustment, but Huel's shaker bottle makes it easy. Soylent was fine unflavored for me (I'd describe it as "cheerio milk"), but with Huel their "original" flavor wasn't doing it for me so I've been ordering the chocolate. It's 1g of sugar, which doesn't bother me.
I'm just using it for a daily breakfast shake. I've never been that hungry in the mornings so can't comment on if you'll feel sated by it, but it works for me as a way to get some easy nutrition.
Instead of my usual mealtimes of 8am, 1pm, 6pm I drink Solent at 8am, 12pm and 4:30pm; then I don't feel hungry throughout the day.
