NutriLabels vs Food Label Maker: Pricing & Format Comparison

Last verified 16 Sep 2026 · Sources

NutriLabels and Food Label Maker both generate a Nutrition Facts panel from a recipe using database analysis. The clearest structural difference is pricing shape: NutriLabels sells a single label as a $29 one-time purchase, while every tier on Food Label Maker’s own pricing page is a subscription, with no one-time option below its custom-quoted Enterprise tier. That shapes what you pay for one product and whether editing continues after you stop paying. This was checked against Food Label Maker’s pricing page, terms and conditions, FAQ, and help center (foodlabelmaker.com), read in a browser on 16 Sep 2026.

Quick answer

For one product, NutriLabels is $29 once, with 12 months of edits included and downloads that never expire. Food Label Maker’s own pricing page (foodlabelmaker.com/pricing/) lists three subscription tiers, each for 1 user with unlimited recipes: Essential at $25/mo month-to-month or $21/mo billed annually ($254/yr), Pro at $49/mo or $42/mo billed annually ($500/yr), and Business at $99/mo or $84/mo billed annually ($1,010/yr), with no one-time, per-label price published. What is confirmed directly from Food Label Maker’s own terms: all fees are non-refundable, and access to edit a label ends when the subscription lapses, with data deleted after a 30-day grace period unless you buy a separate retention package.

Where they differ

One-time purchase vs. subscription-only. NutriLabels sells a single product label for $29 with no recurring fee. Food Label Maker’s published tier structure (Essential, Pro, Business, and custom Enterprise) is subscription-based at every level; the closest thing to a one-time price is its separate Hire an Expert service, starting at $70 per recipe with unspecified bulk discounts (foodlabelmaker.com/faq). If you need exactly one label and want to avoid a monthly charge, that’s the fork.

What happens to your label after you stop paying. NutriLabels’ $29 purchase includes 12 months of edits, and downloads never expire. After the year, you can re-unlock that product for $29 or move to the Studio plan ($299 a year: every product you make, plus the compliance binder and PDF reports). Food Label Maker’s terms state that after cancellation, an account enters a 30-day grace period where data “will be preserved, but you will not be permitted to create or edit labels without an active subscription,” and is deleted after that unless you buy a Data Retention Package (foodlabelmaker.com/terms-conditions).

Multi-market format coverage. Food Label Maker’s help center confirms CFIA-compliant, bilingual English/French labels on its Pro tier and up, with a stated caveat that labels “are not pre-approved and require final submission to CFIA for approval,” and Enterprise extending to additional regulatory markets (help.foodlabelmaker.com). NutriLabels’ formats cover FDA (US) requirements only.

Refunds. NutriLabels backs your first $29 Single Product purchase with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Food Label Maker’s terms state plainly that “there are no refunds or credits” for an unused, partial, or deactivated account within a billing period (foodlabelmaker.com/terms-conditions).

What Food Label Maker’s own pricing page shows. Essential, Pro, and Business are each priced per month or at a lower per-month rate when billed annually ($254/yr, $500/yr, and $1,010/yr respectively), and each tier is “1 User, unlimited recipes,” and there’s no per-label, one-time option at any tier (foodlabelmaker.com/pricing/).

Who each fits

NutriLabels tends to suit you if you’re a cottage-food maker or small brand with one to a handful of US-market SKUs and you want to pay once, edit for a full year, and know the exact price of expert review up front.

Food Label Maker tends to suit a brand or co-packer running many SKUs that wants recipe costing and claims tools bundled into an ongoing subscription, and especially a business selling into Canada or other markets its Pro-and-up tiers cover. That multi-jurisdiction range is a capability NutriLabels doesn’t offer.

Choose

A label you can still edit next spring means a recipe change doesn’t start a new subscription. If you run more than one product, or expect to, the Studio plan ($299 a year: every product you make, plus the compliance binder and PDF reports, AI spec-sheet import, recipe costing, product approval and three user seats) fits, and the Co-packer plan ($1,199 a year: everything in the Studio plan plus client folders, white-label documents and five seats) covers client brands. If you only need one product labeled right now, enter your recipe, then see your label: your calories, the claims you qualify for and your allergen line are free, no card required, and Single Product ($29 one time, with 12 months of edits and a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first Single Product) unlocks every other nutrient value and %DV, every FDA format your product qualifies for, the ingredient statement and allergen declaration; or send us the recipe and we build it ($249, within 5 business days). See NutriLabels’ pricing, or build your label free to see the free preview first.

FAQ

Does Food Label Maker publish its prices on its own site?

Yes. Food Label Maker's pricing page (foodlabelmaker.com/pricing/) lists three tiers, each for 1 user with unlimited recipes: Essential at $25/mo month-to-month or $21/mo billed annually ($254/yr), Pro at $49/mo or $42/mo billed annually ($500/yr), and Business at $99/mo or $84/mo billed annually ($1,010/yr), as read in a browser on 16 Sep 2026.

Does Food Label Maker offer a one-time, pay-once option like NutriLabels' $29?

Not as published. Every tier visible on its pricing page structure (Essential, Pro, Business, Enterprise) is subscription-based, with Enterprise custom-quoted. Its separate Hire an Expert service is priced per recipe, starting at $70, which is closer to a one-time fee but is a done-for-you service, not the self-serve builder.

What happens to my labels if I cancel Food Label Maker?

Per its terms, data is retained through your active subscription, then enters a 30-day grace period during which you can view but not edit, and is \"permanently and irreversibly deleted\" if you don't reactivate or buy a Data Retention Package before that period ends (foodlabelmaker.com/terms-conditions).

Does NutriLabels support Canadian or other international formats?

No. NutriLabels' formats are FDA (US) formats. Food Label Maker's help center states it offers CFIA-compliant bilingual labels, with a note that labels \"are not pre-approved and require final submission to CFIA for approval,\" and its Enterprise tier adds other markets.

Is Food Label Maker's expert service comparable in price to NutriLabels'?

Food Label Maker's Hire an Expert service starts at $70 per recipe with unspecified bulk discounts. NutriLabels' expert services are flat packages: $69 for a Label Review and $249 for a done-for-you label, so the starting prices are close, but Food Label Maker's per-recipe rate and discount structure aren't fully published.
