Comparison
That Clean Life is a well-built platform with a large recipe library, and for many practitioners it is the right tool. This page is about the specific case where it is not: dietitians practising in Australia who need analysis against Australian food data, in kilojoules, priced in AUD.
That Clean Life is built for the North American market, so its nutritional analysis reflects North American food products and its pricing is in USD. Cladiv is built for Australian practice: meal plans and analysis come from FSANZ-sourced Australian food composition data, energy is reported in kilojoules, clinical calculation is built into the same tool, and plans are billed in AUD with a free tier. That Clean Life has the larger recipe library — if that is your main criterion, it remains the stronger choice.

| Currency | AUD | USDA USD subscription moves with the exchange rate. |
| Free plan | Yes — 5 meal plans/month, no card required | Free trial rather than a free tier |
| Recipe library | 600+ curated recipes, plus your own | Thousands of recipesThat Clean Life has the larger library. See below. |
| Clinical calculator | Energy, protein and macro targets built in | Not a stated focus |

That Clean Life details are taken from That Clean Life’s own public pages and dated third-party reviews. We do not have access to their internal roadmap, and we have an obvious commercial interest here — verify anything that would change your decision.
Then the food composition question runs the other way, and the argument on this page does not apply to you.
That Clean Life has thousands of recipes and a large template set. If you plan primarily by browsing recipes, that depth is real and Cladiv does not match it today.
Cladiv is built around clinical workflow — assessment, requirements, documentation. If your work is general healthy-eating support, that structure is overhead you do not need.
For dietitians practising in Australia, the deciding factor is usually the food composition database. That Clean Life is built for the North American market, so its nutritional analysis reflects North American food products. Cladiv generates plans and analysis from FSANZ-sourced Australian food composition data, reports energy in kilojoules and bills in AUD. If those three things matter to your practice, they are the reason to switch.
The reasons that come up publicly are cost as practices grow, wanting nutritional analysis matched to their own country’s food supply, and wanting clinical calculation built into the same tool rather than run separately. Which of those applies depends on your caseload.
Cladiv has a free plan with 5 meal plans per month, then Starter at $29 AUD per month and Professional at $99 AUD per month for up to 5 seats. That Clean Life is priced in USD, so a direct comparison depends on the exchange rate on the day. Compare the tier you would actually need rather than the entry price.
No. That Clean Life has the larger recipe library. Cladiv includes 600+ curated recipes and lets you add your own on Professional and above. If breadth of recipe library is your main criterion, that is an honest point in That Clean Life’s favour.
There is no automated import between the two platforms. In practice most dietitians rebuild their handful of frequently-used templates once, rather than migrating a whole library. Talk to us if you have a large template set and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth the effort.
The free plan gives you five meal plans a month. Build one for a patient you have already planned for elsewhere and compare the numbers — that answers this question faster than any comparison table, including ours.
