NFL vs LabelCalc
LabelCalc sells labels per product rather than by subscription: $225 once, unlimited downloads of that label. For a small static US catalogue that arithmetic beats ours, and it is worth doing before you choose.

Where LabelCalc is stronger
The maths, if your catalogue is small and static. Four US products is $900 once with them. Pro is $29/month, which passes $900 in about two and a half years. If you have a handful of SKUs, sell only in the US, and rarely reformulate, they are cheaper and you should use them.
They also offer expert-created labels at $345 with a 1 to 2 day turnaround. We have no equivalent.
Note their ownership: the product is now sold as Datacor Nutrition Labeling, though labelcalc.com and its pricing page are still live. Worth confirming which entity you are buying from.
Where NFL fits better
The arithmetic inverts as soon as you reformulate, add SKUs, or sell outside the US. Per-product pricing charges you again for each new product; a subscription does not. And US FDA only is a hard ceiling: one export order to Canada or the EU and their model has no answer.
