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 Kalix 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
A solo dietitian. 45-minute sessions. About 40 active clients. The meal plan is what you sell.
Kalix
Kalix is charting and practice management. No automated meal plans. No recipe database. No food database. We do not publish a Kalix price here.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Pro at 40 clients billed yearly is $67 a month. Plans and the branded app sit in that price. Notes are basic, not full Kalix charting.
Keep Kalix if the chart is the job. Switch if the meal plan is the job.
12 clients, two tools
You have 12 active clients and about 6 consultations a week. Kalix holds the notes. Something else writes the plans.
Kalix
Kalix does not generate meal plans. A second tool still sits on the invoice.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Starter at 12 clients billed yearly is $42 a month. Plans, bookings, and notes for the week live together.
Two tools for twelve clients is how the week gets expensive, even before we name Kalix's price.
Clients in an app
About 40 active clients. You want them to open the plan on their phone.
Kalix
Kalix has no client meal-plan app. The food never leaves the chart.
Foodzilla
Foodzilla Pro at 40 clients billed yearly is $67 a month. Clients open plans in your branded app.
The notes can stay in Kalix. The food still never reaches the client's phone.
