Foodzilla vs FoodWorks (Xyris) | Australian Nutrition Software
Xyris makes FoodWorks Pro, the nutrition analysis tool widely used by Australian dietitians. Foodzilla is the all-in-one alternative: personalised meal plans from 1,500+ dietitian-approved recipes, smart auto-swap, magazine-style PDFs, and a client app under your brand. Foodzilla also includes online booking and scheduling, intake and smart forms, invoices, broadcast emails and messages, and built-in Foodzilla Meet video consults with AI summaries. Sell through paid forms, paid bookings, invoices, subscription packages, or the Developer API on your own website. All of that is in one system.
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 Foodworks 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 consultations a week, APD
An Australian dietitian. 45-minute sessions. About 40 active clients you see every fortnight.
Foodworks
FoodWorks is $85 AUD a month. It is nutrition analysis. No recipe database, no client app, no bookings, no video.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Pro at 40 clients billed yearly is $67 a month. Plans, the branded app, bookings, and Zoom sit in that price.
You stop paying analysis-software money for a private-practice week.
12 clients in private practice
You have 12 active clients and about 6 consultations a week.
Foodworks
FoodWorks is $85 AUD a month whether you see 12 people or 40. Clients still do not get a plan in an app.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Starter at 12 clients billed yearly is $42 a month. Plans and bookings sit together.
Analysis software priced for a lab, used as a CRM.
Growing caseload
You are heading toward 50 active clients and want them to open the plan themselves.
Foodworks
FoodWorks stays $85 AUD a month. Still no client delivery.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Pro at 50 clients billed yearly is $74 a month. Clients open plans in your app.
The invoice stays high and clients still get a PDF from somewhere else.
