Why dietitians choose Vitena
A client portal your clients will actually use
Nutrium requires your clients to receive credentials and create an account before they can access their meal plans. Vitena uses token-based access — your client clicks a single link and instantly sees their nutrition plan, progress tracking, shopping list, and session history. No registration, no password, no friction. When access is this easy, clients engage more and stay on track.
Forms that do the work for you
Nutrium offers a single pre-built nutrition assessment form that you can show or hide fields on, but you cannot create your own. Vitena gives you a full form builder with 8 question types, 5 clinical templates (including MEDAS Mediterranean diet screening), automatic scoring with risk categorization, and auto-send when an appointment is booked. Your client fills it out before the session — you walk in already knowing their situation.
Turn supplement recommendations into revenue
Vitena includes a built-in supplement catalog where you can manage products with images, dosage, pricing, and affiliate purchase links. Recommend supplements during sessions and earn commission when clients buy. Nutrium has no supplement management or affiliate capability.
Built for teams, priced for solo practitioners
Vitena supports up to 25 team members with three distinct roles (Admin, Consultant, Assistant) at €9 per additional user. Nutrium offers only a basic assistant role with limited multi-practitioner support. A 7-person clinic on Vitena costs ~€69/month — with full role-based access control.
