Multiple Medication Support: Shotsy vs Pep
Shotsy lets you track multiple GLP-1 medications at the same time, keeping your entire treatment history in one place. Shotsy's estimated medication level charts show the amount of each medication in your system simultaneously, so you can see how different drugs overlap and interact. Pep's charts only display a single medication at a time.
Bottom line: Shotsy tracks all your GLP-1 medications together, with combined medication level views. Pep supports only one at a time.
Weight Charts: Shotsy vs Pep
Shotsy overlays color-coded dose markers on your weight chart so you can trace cause and effect, seeing where a titration up sparked faster progress or where a plateau coincided with a steady dose. Pep shows a standard weight graph with no dose information layered in.
Bottom line: Shotsy ties every pound lost to the dose that drove it. Pep's chart leaves you with numbers but no explanation.
Maintenance Mode: Shotsy vs Pep
Reaching your goal weight on a GLP-1 is a milestone, but the real test begins the day after. Shotsy's Maintenance Mode shifts your entire tracking experience with new benchmarks, adjusted metrics, and a focus on stability rather than loss. Pep has no equivalent feature and continues to show the same weight-loss-oriented interface regardless of where you are in your journey. Shotsy adapts to the maintenance phase so you can monitor what actually matters once the scale stops dropping. Pep treats every user the same whether they have 50 pounds to lose or are actively working to keep their results.
Bottom line: Shotsy evolves with you into the maintenance phase. Pep offers no tools for life after reaching your goal.
Medication Level Charts: Shotsy vs Pep
GLP-1 medications rise and fall in your system on a predictable curve, and understanding that curve changes how you experience your treatment. Shotsy gives you animated, interactive medication level charts spanning multiple timeframes so you can see peak concentration, troughs between doses, and the cumulative build-up over weeks of treatment. Pep offers only a basic medication level display without the interactive depth or multiple timeframe views that Shotsy provides. Shotsy lets you zoom into any week, compare different dose periods, and build intuition about your body's response. Pep's simpler view limits your ability to explore how your medication behaves between doses.
Bottom line: Shotsy's interactive medication level charts reveal patterns that Pep's basic display cannot surface.
Advanced Custom Scheduling: Shotsy vs Pep
Travel, illness, a forgotten dose, a prescription change: life constantly interferes with neat dosing schedules. Shotsy's custom scheduling engine handles all of it, letting you shift your injection day, log a delayed dose, manage time zone changes, create personalized titration plans, and track more than one GLP-1 medication at once. Pep does not accommodate these real-life disruptions with the same depth. Accurate scheduling also feeds Shotsy's analytics, because the app knows exactly when you took each dose and can calculate precise medication levels accordingly. Pep's simpler approach means less precision downstream.
Bottom line: Shotsy bends to your real schedule instead of forcing you into a rigid one, something Pep's limited scheduling cannot match.
Side Effects Analysis: Shotsy vs Pep
Logging a side effect is the easy part; understanding why it happened is what actually helps. Shotsy overlays your reported symptoms against your estimated medication levels, revealing whether nausea spikes near peak concentration or fatigue shows up as levels taper. Pep lets you record side effects but stops there, with no correlation charts or visual connection between symptoms and medication timing. With Shotsy, you can show your doctor a chart linking specific symptoms to estimated medication levels in your body.
Bottom line: Shotsy connects your symptoms to your medication curve. Pep records side effects but can't show you the patterns behind them.
App Customization: Shotsy vs Pep
You open your GLP-1 tracker every day, sometimes multiple times. Shotsy lets you make that experience your own with selectable themes and accent colors. Pep locks you into a single fixed design with no appearance options. Personalization builds ownership: an app that looks and feels the way you want becomes something you use more consistently, and consistency is the foundation of accurate tracking. Pep's static interface offers no room to make the experience feel personal.
Bottom line: Shotsy lets you shape the look of your tracker to suit your style. Pep gives everyone the same unchangeable design.
Estimated Medication Level Widgets: Shotsy vs Pep
Shotsy puts an estimated medication level widget directly on your home screen, so a quick glance tells you where your levels stand without opening the app. Pep does not offer any home screen widgets. Knowing your current medication level helps you anticipate how you might feel, plan meals around peak effectiveness, or decide whether a side effect is related to dose timing. Without any widgets, Pep requires you to open the app every time you want this context.
Bottom line: Shotsy's medication level widget keeps your treatment status visible at all times. Pep has no widget support at all.
Countdown Widget: Shotsy vs Pep
Consistency is everything with GLP-1 injections, and Shotsy's countdown widget turns your home screen into a gentle, always-visible reminder displaying the exact days and hours until your next dose. Pep does not offer a countdown widget. With Shotsy's countdown widget, navigating your schedule is fast and easy.
Bottom line: Shotsy's countdown widget builds dose consistency into your daily routine. Pep offers no home screen reminders.
Apple Health Integration: Shotsy vs Pep
Shotsy pulls weight, calories, protein, and water data straight from Apple Health, so anything you log on your Apple Watch, a smart scale, or another Health-connected app flows into your GLP-1 tracker automatically. Pep does not connect to Apple Health at all, meaning every metric must be entered by hand. Manual entry introduces friction and gaps: miss a day of logging water or forget your morning weigh-in and your data becomes incomplete. Shotsy's sync keeps your records current without extra effort.
Bottom line: Shotsy unifies your health data through Apple Health. Pep keeps everything siloed and manual.
PDF Export for Healthcare Providers: Shotsy vs Pep
A productive doctor's appointment starts with good data. Shotsy compiles your doses, injection sites, side effects, and weight trends into a polished PDF you can hand to your provider or email ahead of time. Pep does not support any form of data export or sharing. Shotsy's PDF packages your entire GLP-1 timeline into a single document your doctor can scan in seconds, making it easier to spot trends and have an evidence-based conversation about your treatment.
Bottom line: Shotsy puts your full treatment history in your doctor's hands with one tap. Pep offers no way to export or share your data.
Privacy & Data Protection: Shotsy vs Pep
Shotsy never collects data linked to your identity and syncs everything through Apple's Private iCloud. Pep uses identifiers to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies, and your Device ID is collected for advertising and marketing. Shotsy was built so that your health data stays on your device and in your iCloud, never shared with advertisers or any third party.
Bottom line: Shotsy keeps your health data private and off ad networks. Pep's tracking practices send your Device ID to advertisers.
