Who is each software for?

This table compares INDYA and Dietopro based on the professional profile and typical workflow.

Summary Table by Professional Profile

Feature Comparison

• INDYA automates nutritional planning based on real-time workouts and patient behavior.
• Dietopro requires constant manual intervention from the professional.

Security and Compliance (GDPR)

In nutrition software, security goes beyond a “username and password”: we are dealing with personal data and, in many cases, sensitive health data. Therefore, it is essential to always review the official documentation of each platform (terms and conditions, privacy, and security policies) before making a decision.

INDYA

• GDPR compliance and role as a Data Processor on behalf of the nutritionist.
  
• Commitment to technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
• Notification of incidents/breaches to the nutritionist without undue delay (within 36 hours of becoming aware).
  
• Limitation of international data transfers and strict control over sub-processors (requires authorization and a written contract).
  
• Assistance to the professional in exercising data subject rights and handling requests for data deletion or delivery.
  

Dietopro

• Features a “Security Measures and Policies” section within its privacy policy.
  
• Includes specific policies such as encryption, backup/restoration/contingency plans, and user access management/control.
• Covers security breach response protocols, data retention periods, and other organizational controls.
• Applicable details are subject to its current official documentation.

Practical Criteria Comparison

Pricing

Dietopro has a lower license cost but requires more manual time (drag-and-drop, manual adjustments).

INDYA has a higher price point but is designed to massively reduce workload through automation and real-time training adjustments.

Free Trial: INDYA offers a 15-day unrestricted free trial. Dietopro has a free version but is limited to 2 patients and lacks full ingredient data and lab results.

Professional Certification

Dietopro: Requires accreditation to open an account. Access is activated as soon as you provide your professional degree. INDYA: Does not require it initially, but it will be requested at a later stage.

Initial assessment

INDYA features a highly comprehensive and well-structured intake process, while Dietopro allows you to add your own custom questions within the anamnesis.

In practice, Dietopro’s intake is more focused on being completed together with the client. INDYA allows you to do it alongside the client or let them complete it at home at their own pace via the app without using the nutritionist’s time, which greatly streamlines the workflow.

In favor of INDYA: Information gathering does not depend on doing it “during the consultation.” Patients can complete it in the app whenever it suits them best, and the nutritionist receives structured data, reducing typical oversights and errors of a quick interview. Furthermore, by integrating with the athlete’s ecosystem (workouts, habits, progress), the anamnesis doesn’t remain “frozen”: it becomes a living database to adjust the plan with less friction and fewer back-and-forths.

Pathologies

Both platforms allow you to indicate the client’s pathologies and restrict foods accordingly. Dietopro provides a very detailed description of each pathology (what it is, how it affects the patient, and which ingredients are compromised).

In favor of INDYA: When the goal is adherence and results (especially for active profiles), the advantage lies in converting those restrictions into a practical and flexible plan: alternative recipes, equivalent swaps, and adjustments that do not require rebuilding the menu from scratch. This helps maintain compliance without the professional having to manually recalculate every modification.

Meal Structure

Dietopro offers the option to set up a first course (salad, cream soup, etc.), a carbohydrate-rich second course, and a protein-based third course. If you do not want three courses in a single intake, you can remove whichever you prefer. You can see the calories and macronutrients for each dish, but you do not see the total calories or macronutrients for that specific intake; you must sum them up on your own.

INDYA allows you to set a main dish and then add a wide variety of versatile side dishes (salads, bread, gazpachos, vegetables, nuts, etc.), as well as desserts, coffee, or supplements, maintaining a clear overview of the entire meal.

Recipe Variety

Dietopro: On some days, the software may fail to find recipes that fit the patient’s needs, leaving the meal plan blank.
INDYA: This never happens. Additionally, the level of variety in INDYA can be modified by both the client and the nutritionist, whereas in Dietopro, it is restricted to the professional only.

Training Integration

Dietopro: Finding training data is difficult. Its main drawback is that workouts are merely informative and they don’t impact energy calculations or trigger plan readjustments. It makes no difference if you train for 1 hour or 3. Furthermore, you can only log one session.

Chat Communication

INDYA allows sending files to the patient via chat. Dietopro does not support file sharing.

Charts and Analytics

INDYA is superior here, offering highly visual and easy-to-understand charts for a vast amount of data (body composition, feeling surveys, synced data, etc.).
Dietopro’s weight chart is less intuitive, and the three macronutrients are displayed in the same color, making it confusing to differentiate them.

Schedules and Shifts

Dietopro allows for exact time adjustments for night shifts (e.g., setting dinner or a snack at 4 AM). It also supports alternating work shifts and days off.

Design and Recipe Imagery

INDYA features a very polished and consistent design. Every recipe, supplement, dessert, and coffee has an appealing photo, significantly boosting client motivation.
Dietopro lacks this polish; some recipes have no photos, others show an empty plate, and the existing images lack a consistent style.

Recipe Gallery and Search

INDYA has a powerful recipe gallery. Both have well-designed filters, but INDYA’s search engine is superior. In Dietopro, you must type the full word for results to appear.
A major Dietopro drawback: When clicking on a recipe, ingredient quantities are hidden (only kcal and preparation are shown), so you cannot see the exact amounts used for each dish.

Database and Nutrition Engine Summary

Automation and Patient Experience

INDYA

• Patients can swap recipes without breaking macros.
• Automatic shopping list.
• Automatic readjustment based on real-time training.
• Nutritionist and patient do not need to be connected at the same time.

Dietopro

• Manual planning.
• Changes depend on the professional.
• Designed more for joint consultations.

Advantages and Limitations

INDYA

Pros

• Massive time savings: Automation of the base menu planning in seconds.
• Ultra-sports personalization: The only software that automatically readjusts the diet if the client trains more or less that day (sync with Strava/TrainingPeaks).
• User Experience (App): A modern app that allows patients to swap recipes for nutritionally equivalent ones without breaking their diet (“Smart Swapping”). High level of interaction with meals, progress, and motivation.
• Automatic shopping list: Updates itself if the patient changes a recipe in the app.

Cons

• Less focus on pathologies: While it covers health, its strength is not complex drug-nutrient interactions like in Dietopro.
• Technological learning curve: Requires a mindset shift toward managing automated parameters.
  

Dietopro

Pros

• Clinical depth: Excellent for managing complex pathologies; features a very powerful drug-nutrient interaction module.
• White label: Allows high customization of PDF reports with your corporate logo.
  
• Talks, topic creation, and nutritional education. Includes specific modules to create educational material and talks for patients.

Cons

• Dragging recipes to add them to the nutritional plan: The “drag and drop” system can be slow and repetitive when managing many patients, forcing you to move items dish by dish.
• Possible empty intakes: If care is not taken when designing the manual template, there may be gaps or unassigned intakes that confuse the patient in the final report.
• Classic interface: Less oriented toward the “tech” experience expected by younger end-users.

Use Cases by Profile

Clinical Nutritionists

If your daily routine involves treating patients with complex digestive or renal pathologies, or medication interactions, Dietopro is the industry standard. Its manual and its capacity to generate detailed clinical reports in PDF are superior for hospital settings and clinical nutrition.

Sports nutritionists

INDYA is the clear choice. An athlete needs their diet to adapt to their real training load. INDYA’s ability to read data from TrainingPeaks or Strava and automatically adjust post-workout carbohydrates saves hours of manual recalculation and offers a “premium” service to the athlete that no PDF can match.

Trainers and Centers

For trainers who want to offer a comprehensive service (or monitor nutrition without being dietitians by referring to professionals), INDYA’s technology allows for scaling. By automating the planning, a single professional can manage a much larger volume of users without losing quality in personalization.

Teams and Clinics

Multidisciplinary clinics can benefit from both. Dietopro for managing pure medical histories and billing, and INDYA for the performance and sports nutrition team that requires dynamism and a mobile app.

Which one to choose for your practice?

Decision-oriented summary:

• If you are looking for automation, working with athletes, saving time, and offering a next-generation App to your clients → Choose INDYA.
• If you need total manual control, management of complex pathologies, drug-nutrient interactions, and prefer a classic report/PDF format → Choose Dietopro.
