Why Indian dietitians choose MealStack over Foodzilla
Foodzilla is a solid tool for Western markets. For India, it's missing the essentials.
Half the price — in INR
Foodzilla Basic is $29/mo (~₹2,400). MealStack Starter is ₹1,499/mo — nearly half the price, with Indian food data and AI generation included.
9,349 Indian foods
Foodzilla uses USDA data only. MealStack combines IFCT 2017, INDB, and USDA — with Hindi names, Indian portion presets, and calorie density badges.
AI meal generation
Generate a complete 7-day Indian meal plan from a single prompt. Foodzilla has no AI features — every plan is built manually.
WhatsApp integration
Indian clients live on WhatsApp. MealStack generates a shareable portal link for WhatsApp delivery. Foodzilla has no WhatsApp support.
GST invoicing
MealStack generates GST-compliant invoices with SAC codes. Foodzilla has no INR billing or GST support.
