What is the difference between Foodzilla and Practice Better?

Foodzilla is an AI-powered nutrition platform with meal planning, white-label apps, and built-in practice tools. That includes online booking, intake forms, SOAP and ADIME notes, payments, and telehealth video calls with Foodzilla Meet. Practice Better is an all-in-one practice management platform with strong scheduling and billing but only basic nutrition features. Choose Foodzilla if nutrition is at the heart of your practice; choose Practice Better if you mainly need insurance billing.

Does Foodzilla have built-in telehealth like Practice Better?

Yes. Run the call in Foodzilla Meet or in Zoom. Clients join Foodzilla Meet in one tap from the app or your branded portal. Pro includes AI summaries and transcripts, with no per-hour fee. Practice Better charges for AI Charting Assistant on Professional and up. The first 600 minutes are free, then $0.60/hour.

Do deactivated clients count towards my client limit?

Not in Foodzilla. Only active and archived clients count towards your plan's client capacity. Deactivated clients and leads never take up a slot. In Practice Better, deactivated clients still count towards your plan's client limit, so past clients quietly use up the capacity you're paying for. With Foodzilla, you keep every client record without paying for clients you no longer work with.

Which is better for meal planning: Foodzilla or Practice Better?

Foodzilla is significantly better for meal planning with its AI-powered automatic meal plan generation, comprehensive food database, and white-label client apps. Practice Better offers basic meal planning but focuses more on practice management features like scheduling and billing.

Is Practice Better HIPAA compliant?

Practice Better offers HIPAA compliance across its practice tools. Foodzilla's HIPAA plan is limited. Client and practice features are stripped out, so you only get meal planning and recipes, plus a Business Associate Agreement.

Can I sell services in Foodzilla, not only write meal plans?

Yes. Charge for a form, take payment when someone books, send an invoice to a client or a prospect, sell a subscription package through your branded app, or use the Developer API so a purchase on your own website creates the client and switches their access on or off. Those five ways to sell live in one system.

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 Practice Better 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 you see every fortnight.

Practice Better

That is about 3,600 minutes of calls a month. Practice Better's first 600 minutes of AI Charting Assistant are free. The other 3,000 minutes cost $0.60 an hour, about $30 extra. You also need Professional at $62 a month once you pass 10 clients. Total $92 a month, and you still do not get meal planning.

Foodzilla

Foodzilla Pro at 40 clients billed yearly is $67 a month. Pro includes AI summaries. No per-hour fee. Meal planning, bookings, and Zoom sit in the same product.

Same week of consults. You keep about $25 a month and stop paying for a second meal-planning tool.

12 clients, just past Starter

You have 12 active clients and about 6 consultations a week. You outgrew a 10-client cap.

Practice Better

Practice Better Starter is $25 a month billed yearly, but only for 10 clients. Client 11 forces you onto Professional at $62 a month. Deactivated past clients still eat those slots.

Foodzilla

Foodzilla Starter at 12 clients billed yearly is $42 a month. Deactivated clients never count, so finished clients free a slot the day you deactivate them.

Two extra clients should not nearly triple your software bill.

30 consultations a week

A full telehealth diary. 45-minute sessions. About 60 active clients.

Practice Better

About 5,400 minutes of calls a month. After the 600 free minutes, AI Charting Assistant is about $48 extra. Professional is $62. Total $110 a month, still without meal planning.

Foodzilla

Foodzilla Pro at 60 clients billed yearly is $82 a month. AI summaries stay on Pro. The food database and meal plans are included.

The busier the week, the more Practice Better's per-hour add-on shows up on the invoice.
