Peptide Protocol vs Shotsy

Popular GLP-1-focused tracker with 600K+ downloads. Great for weight-loss tracking but limited to GLP-1 medications, not comprehensive peptide support.

TL;DR

Peptide Protocol is the stronger pick for most users — broader peptide coverage, free public tools, researched reference content, and lower friction to start. Shotsy wins on its specific signature strength: Huge GLP-1 user base, side-effects calendar. If that matches your need exactly, use it.

Where Peptide Protocol is stronger

Covers every peptide you might run

Shotsy is purpose-built for injectable GLP-1 pens (Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy). The moment you add BPC-157, Tesamorelin, or compounded semaglutide to the mix, you need a tracker built for research peptides. That's us.

Compounded GLP-1 support

If you're using compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide from a 503A pharmacy, you need a reconstitution calculator — something Shotsy doesn't build because it assumes pen devices. Peptide Protocol handles both pens and compounded vials.

Peptide reference content

Our glossary, guides, and regulatory page cover all peptides, not just GLP-1.

Where Shotsy is stronger

Scale and polish for GLP-1 users

Shotsy has 600K+ downloads and years of iteration specifically for pen-device GLP-1 tracking. If you're only on Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro, it's an excellent fit.

Android availability

Shotsy runs on Android; Peptide Protocol is iPhone-only today.

Which to pick

Pick Peptide Protocol if…

You run any peptide beyond the three approved GLP-1 pens, you use compounded GLP-1 (vials, not pens), or you want a tracker that grows with you if your protocol expands.

Pick Shotsy if…

You exclusively use Mounjaro, Zepbound, or Wegovy pens, you're on Android, and you want the most-downloaded app in that narrow category.

How this page is maintained

This comparison is written by the Peptide Protocol team and is inherently biased toward our own strengths — we try to be fair about Shotsy's, but the honest way to evaluate is to try both when possible. We update this page when feature sets change. If you spot something that has changed on either side, tell us.
