Nutritionist Pro alternative
A Nutritionist Pro alternative sized for a maker, not a clinic
Nutritionist Pro has been built for dietitians since 1982: diet analysis, menu planning, and a labeling module that covers the US, Canada, the UK and EU, and Hong Kong and China. The online plan is $36 a month or $299 a year, per user. If what you need is one correct FDA panel for a product you sell at markets and online, that is a lot of software to rent. Panelry does the label, and only the label, for $9.

Where Panelry differs
- Priced per label, not per seat. Nutritionist Pro licenses each user. Panelry charges $9 for a panel or $12 a month for as many as you need, and nothing at all for cottage-food labels.
- Built around the small-seller rules. The state home-kitchen disclosure, the type sizes each state sets, the net-weight placement rule, the sales caps and channel limits by state. A clinical suite has no reason to know any of this; a maker's label lives or dies by it.
- Every rule is read from the regulation text and watched for amendments. See how we verify.
- Nothing to install, nothing to learn. Search the USDA database, set your servings, weigh the finished batch, export a vector PDF at the exact print size.
When Nutritionist Pro might still fit
If you label for several countries, need diet-analysis reports for clients, or are a registered dietitian managing menus, Nutritionist Pro is the right category of tool and Panelry is not trying to be it. The overlap is a small US food business that only ever needed the label, and for that the price difference is the whole story.
