Consumer vs. Professional

The fundamental difference:

Mealime: Consumer app for personal meal planning. You can plan your own meals, but there's no way to create plans for clients or run a nutrition business.

Foodzilla: Professional platform designed for creating, customizing, and delivering meal plans to clients with full practice management tools.

Why Professionals Choose Foodzilla

Create plans for clients: Not just for yourself

Client management: Track all your clients in one place

Your brand: Clients use YOUR app, building your business

Custom targets: Set specific macros for each client

Monitor compliance: See what clients actually eat

Accept payments: Collect fees without third-party tools

When Mealime Works

You're planning meals for yourself

You don't have clients to manage

You want a simple, free personal tool

The Professional Choice

If you're a nutrition professional with clients, you need professional tools. Foodzilla provides the client-facing features, customization, and business tools that consumer apps like Mealime simply don't offer.
