Nutrium alternative for dietitians and nutritionists
Nutrium is an established nutrition platform used by dietitians in over 90 countries (its own figure), with meal plans, a client app, scheduling, native video calls and invoicing. Its cheapest monthly plan is $25/mo for 10 customers a month; unlimited clients is $39/month, or $25/month billed yearly.
Nutrena covers the same core jobs with two differences that matter to many practices: unlimited clients on every plan, and a food database with 8,000+ Indian dishes. Pro is ₹999/month in India, $25/month elsewhere.
Nutrena is an AI-powered CRM and practice-management software for dietitians and nutritionists, with unlimited clients and a 30-day free trial of Pro. We make Nutrena, so weigh our view accordingly: every Nutrium fact below links to Nutrium's own site and says when we read it.
