Get paid five ways
Sell your services in one system
Most tools give you one checkout. Foodzilla lets you charge for a form, take payment when someone books, send an invoice, sell a subscription package, or provision access from your own website, without stitching ABC Trainerize onto five other products.
Paid forms
Put a price on any intake, assessment, or application. Clients fill it in and pay via Stripe to submit.
Paid bookings
Set a price on each appointment type. Clients pay when they book, with automatic invoicing.
Invoices
Send an invoice to a client or a new prospect, even if Stripe is not connected. Connect Stripe if you want them to pay a link. You do not wait for them to book or submit a form.
Subscription packages
Sell weekly or monthly packages through your branded app or portal. Access renews on its own.
Developer API
Sell on your own website or checkout. When someone buys, Foodzilla creates the client and switches their access on or off.
Paid forms, paid bookings, invoices, subscription packages, and a Developer API that signs members up from your own site. That combination lives in one product. You are not running a form tool, a booking page, an invoicing tab, a membership checkout, and a custom website side by side.

Map this to your week
What this costs in a real practice
Find the week that looks like yours. Then run the same sums with your client count and how you work.
20 active nutrition clients
A coach who writes meal plans for 20 people and sees many of them each week.
ABC Trainerize
Trainerize Pro 50 is about $120 a month for up to 50 clients. Nutrition tools and a branded app still cost extra on top.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Starter at 20 clients billed yearly is $48 a month. Meal planning is the core product, not an add-on.
You pay less, and nutrition is not a bolt-on.
5 clients, just getting started
A new coach. A handful of paying clients. You need meal plans more than an exercise library.
ABC Trainerize
Trainerize Pro 5 is about $22 a month for 5 clients. Nutrition coaching tools are still an add-on.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Starter at 5 clients billed yearly is $37 a month. AI meal plans, the food database, and bookings are in that price.
The cheaper Trainerize tier looks cheap until you add the nutrition you actually sell.
50 clients and growing
A busy nutrition-first practice. You do not want the bill to jump every time you add a client.
ABC Trainerize
Trainerize Pro 50 is about $120 a month, then more if you need a branded app or better nutrition tools. The next tier after 50 costs more again.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Pro at 50 clients billed yearly is $74 a month. The white-label app is included on Pro. Adding clients later is a small per-client bump, not a new plan.
Growth should not reset your pricing conversation every quarter.
