Pep Alternatives: 5 GLP-1 Trackers Compared

If you are shopping for a Pep alternative, start with the gap you actually want to close. Pep already combines doses, food, progress photos, and measurements. The meaningful differences are export, health-data sync, platform, and how each app handles nutrition.

Quick answer: Choose GlucoPal if you want meal-level nutrition, automatic site rotation, dose-linked symptoms, progress photos and an exportable record in one no-account app on iPhone or Android. Choose Pep if its FatSecret food workflow or supported languages fit your routine better. Both offer barcode entry, fat and fiber tracking, body measurements and Apple Health on iPhone; those shared features do not decide the comparison.

The historical competitor rating, price and feature snapshot below was checked against primary sources (App Store listings, Google Play listings, Apple's public US customer review feed, and official product sites) on August 14, 2026. App listings change often, so re-check the current listing before you download.

Product correction — October 6, 2026

GlucoPal works on iPhone and Android. It supports food search, barcode and photo entry, fat and fiber, body measurements and side-by-side photos. Standard US Pro is $9.99/month or $34.99/year; discounts, trial terms and feature access can vary, so check the in-app offer. Historical competitor ratings, review samples and other checks retain their stated dates.

What are the best Pep alternatives in 2026?

The five alternatives at a glance: Shotsy (iPhone and Android, 4.84 from 29,363 US ratings), MeAgain (iPhone and Android, 4.79 from 28,552 US ratings), GlucoPal (iPhone and Android, 4.81 from 2,589 US ratings), Glapp (iPhone and Android, 4.74 from 809 US ratings), and DreamMe (iPhone and Android, 4.68 from 2,449 US ratings). Pep itself remains the baseline at 4.68 from 858 US ratings. Rating figures verified August 14, 2026; GlucoPal product facts corrected October 6.

The five alternatives at a glance

First, identify the Pep app

Pep in this article means the GLP-1 tracker from Shred Apps, LLC (App Store ID 6504788281, Google Play package `com.shredapps.glp1`, website pepglp1.com). Its App Store title currently reads "GLP 1 Tracker," and search results also render it as "GLP-1 Tracker: Pep GLP1," so the name you see depends on where you look.

This matters more than a usual disambiguation note, because a different app called Pep AI: Peptide GLP-1 Tracker (ID 6758682710, from Zode Development LLC, pepaiapp.com) has a larger US ratings base than Pep does: 4.75 from 3,032 US ratings against Pep's 858, checked August 14, 2026. Several other similarly named trackers with near-zero ratings appear in the same searches.

One US reviewer of Pep also points out that "pep" is the medical abbreviation for post-exposure prophylaxis and says the name "has caused some confusion in my GLP-1 community, as well as with my medical provider." That is one person's comment, not a product flaw, but it explains why searches for this app are noisy. Before you download or switch, check the developer name on the listing.

Why people look for a Pep alternative

Most people searching for a Pep alternative are not unhappy with dose logging. Pep is not a thin app. It tracks injections and oral pills, injection-site rotation, estimated medication levels, body measurements, progress photos, and food through a FatSecret-powered database with barcode scanning. Three specific gaps drive the searches instead.

The first is export: Pep's August 14 source check found no export and a developer reply described it as planned. Check the current app before assuming that remains the case. Apple Health is now documented by Pep's own listing and website, rechecked October 6, so it is no longer a reason by itself to switch.

Compare the actual chart views and export contents before switching. Pep's current listing describes connecting side effects with doses and meals with goals; the older reviewer requests below describe their August versions, not a confirmed current absence.

How we compared them

We compared these apps on five axes that change day-to-day use: medication coverage (injections, compounded GLP-1s, and oral GLP-1s), injection-site rotation, nutrition depth (whether you log a meal or a number), medication-level estimates, and data export. Price is reported, not weighted, because every app here is free to download.

Where a company publishes no price, we say so rather than guessing. Historical competitor price checks in this roundup are dated August 14, 2026; GlucoPal's standard US Pro price is shown below, and so Google Play in-app purchase ranges and App Store descriptions are the only primary sources available.

We use each app's own sources for product claims. Pep's current listing confirms Apple Health, barcode food entry, fat and fiber, measurements and photos. Historical rating and review samples below remain dated August 14. Reviewing privacy and data-use pages before choosing a tracker helps explain account, storage and sharing differences.

Food-first apps can also include GLP-1 tools. MyFitnessPal now documents medication and injection-site tracking; compare the exact fields and regional access rather than assuming it is only a calorie counter. Our GLP-1 tracker guide covers the wider field.

How do the top Pep alternatives compare side by side?

Feature summary: All six apps log doses, track injection sites, and record side effects. They split on nutrition: GlucoPal, MeAgain, Pep, and DreamMe let you log the meal itself by photo or search, Shotsy tracks calorie, protein, and water totals you enter or import from Apple Health, and Glapp does not log food at all. On exports, GlucoPal offers a Pro provider PDF; Shotsy and DreamMe also document PDFs. Pep's and MeAgain's historical source checks did not describe one, and Glapp describes in-app reports.

Full feature comparison

All six apps describe injection-site records. Pep now documents Apple Health on iPhone, rechecked October 6, 2026; GlucoPal offers Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android. Compare supported records and current access rather than treating all integrations as identical.

What each one actually costs

Every app in this roundup is free to download, and only one publishes an actual subscription price on its own website. Here is what primary sources say, re-checked August 14, 2026.

Price opacity is the category norm, not a Pep quirk. Five of these six companies publish no subscription figure anywhere on their own site, and the Google Play ranges are wide and unexplained, from DreamMe's $0.99 to $69.99 per item up to MeAgain's ceiling of $119.99. If cost is a real constraint, our breakdown of the best free GLP-1 tracker apps goes through what each free tier genuinely includes.

What "free" actually means on Pep

Pep says it is free in three places of its own. Its homepage carries a "Free" badge on the download button, its homepage FAQ answers the question "Is Pep free to use?" with "Pep is free to download and includes optional premium features for advanced tracking and insights," and its own comparison page states flatly: "Pep is free to use."

Its App Store description's subscription block reads: "Subscribe to a membership to unlock full access to all features." Its Google Play listing shows in-app purchases from $9.99 to $39.99 per item, and pepglp1.com publishes no price (its `/pricing/` URL returns a 404, checked August 14, 2026). Both wordings are accurate on their own terms, and freemium apps routinely describe themselves as free. The practical read: assume the features you are shopping for may sit behind the membership, and check the paywall screen before you commit.

For reference, GlucoPal states its price up front, $9.99/mo or $34.99/yr for GlucoPal Pro, and is free to download and use without an account.

Which Pep alternative fits your routine?

Fit summary: GlucoPal suits people who want doses, sites and meal-level nutrition together on iPhone or Android, with CSV exports. Pro adds provider PDFs. Shotsy suits medication records and daily nutrition totals. MeAgain and DreamMe add companion-led tracking, while Glapp emphasizes trial benchmarking and vial inventory.

GlucoPal: meals and medication in one record

If you are on Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy, or a compounded GLP-1 and you want the dose log, the food log, and something you can hand to your clinician in one place, GlucoPal is built for that. It is designed specifically for the weight-loss journey rather than adapted from a general health app.

GlucoPal is available on iPhone and Android. Its August 14 US rating snapshot was a 4.81 average from 2,589 US App Store ratings. GlucoPal reports 100,000+ users. It is free to download and use, with an optional GlucoPal Pro subscription at $9.99/mo or $34.99/yr. It tracks brand injections, compounded GLP-1s, and daily pills including the Wegovy pill, Rybelsus, and Foundayo (orforglipron). It adds automatic injection-site rotation with a body-map history, dose history and reminders, weight trends with weekly averages, side effects tied to the dose timeline, private progress photos, food search, barcode entry, and AI meal photo scanning, Autopilot Calorie Goals, Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android, an estimated medication-level forecast chart, and CSV exports and Pro provider PDFs. No account creation is required to start, and GlucoPal does not sell your health information.

Both apps work on iPhone and Android and offer barcode entry, fiber, fat, measurements and progress photos. Compare their food-entry workflow, language support and export contents instead. For the full head-to-head, see GlucoPal vs Pep. If nutrition is your reason for switching, our guide to hitting protein goals on a GLP-1 shows what that tracking looks like week to week.

Shotsy: medication records and daily nutrition totals

If handing a document to your clinician is the reason you are leaving Pep, Shotsy is the most direct fix.

Shotsy runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android, holds a 4.84 average from 29,363 US App Store ratings, and shows 100,000+ Android downloads with a 4.7 average from 9,702 ratings. It offers PDF export for appointments, injections and daily pills, injection-site tracking that suggests your next site, estimated medication levels, interactive charts, and side-effect logging. Its Google Play listing shows in-app purchases from $9.99 to $29.99 per item, and shotsyapp.com publishes no price.

The main tradeoff versus Pep: nutrition is numbers in, not meals in. Shotsy's listing and site describe calorie, protein, and water totals you enter or import from Apple Health, with no searchable food database, barcode scanning, or AI meal photo logging described (checked August 14, 2026). Our Shotsy alternatives roundup goes deeper.

MeAgain: the pick if you want an AI companion and a usable free tier

If what keeps you logging is encouragement rather than charts, MeAgain is the closest thing in this roundup to a coach. Capy, its AI companion, chats with you and appears as a home-screen widget on Premium.

MeAgain runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android, holds a 4.79 average from 28,552 US App Store ratings, and shows 50,000+ Android downloads with a 4.6 average from about 2,080 ratings. Its free tier is real and unusually broad: dose logging with reminders, 18 common side effects plus custom ones on a 0 to 10 scale, barcode and search food logging, protein, fiber, and water targets, weight trends, and activity, with no trial countdown. Google Play shows in-app purchases from $14.99 to $119.99 per item, the highest ceiling here, and meagain.com publishes no price.

The main tradeoff versus Pep: MeAgain's own comparison page states it lacks PDF export, so switching from Pep for that reason lands you in the same place. Photo food logging and Journey Cards sit under Premium per its own free-tier page. Our MeAgain alternatives roundup covers the details.

Glapp: the pick if you want clinical-trial benchmarking and supply tracking

If you want to know whether your own results are on track against the published trials, and you are managing vials or pens closely enough to care when they run out, Glapp is the only app here that does either.

Glapp runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android, holds a 4.74 average from 809 US App Store ratings, and shows 10,000+ Android downloads with a 4.5 average from 345 ratings. It logs dose, timing, injection site with smart rotation, titration schedules, and reminders, models medication-level curves for semaglutide and tirzepatide, and adds "shot phases" that anticipate hunger, craving, and energy shifts. Its benchmarking compares your loss to published trial outcomes, and its supply tracker holds vials, pens, concentration, volume, and BUD dates, deducting each logged shot. Google Play shows in-app purchases from $4.99 to $39.99 per item.

The main tradeoff versus Pep: no food, calorie, or protein logging at all, by design. Glapp markets itself as an add-on to a separate calorie counter, so if Pep's food database is the part you use daily, Glapp is a step backward. Progress photos, export, and oral GLP-1 support are not described on its listings.

DreamMe: the pick if sticking with tracking is the real problem

If you have downloaded three trackers and abandoned all three by week two, DreamMe is aimed at you. A companion fish named Sushi grows as you log shots and build habits, with pearls, missions, and unlockable outfits.

DreamMe runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android, holds a 4.68 average from 2,449 US App Store ratings, and shows 1,000+ Android downloads with a 4.4 average from 272 ratings. The Android build updates less often, last on April 6, 2026. The depth behind the game is real: weekly injection reminders, a shot-day checklist, dose history, site tracking that recalls your last site, AI meal photo logging that estimates protein and fiber, water tracking, side-effect trends, medication level charts, progress photos, journaling with mood tracking, and both Apple Health and Health Connect sync. Google Play shows in-app purchases from $0.99 to $69.99 per item.

DreamMe documents a doctor PDF, so export can be a reason to compare it with Pep. Check current food-entry and measurement tools rather than relying on the August feature snapshot. Its Sushi companion and missions are the main workflow difference.

What are recent Pep reviewers actually saying?

Review summary: Pep's overall sentiment is positive, at 4.68 from 858 US App Store ratings and 4.5 from about 1,790 Google Play ratings, checked August 14, 2026. In the 50 most recent US App Store reviews, praise centers on all-in-one convenience and the medication-level readout, while complaints cluster around trial-to-subscription billing surprises, food scanner accuracy, and support response times. These are individual opinions, not verified facts about the app.

What reviewers praise

The most repeated compliment is that Pep replaces several apps at once. "No more juggling apps" appears in different words across multiple reviews, usually from people who were running a dose tracker, a calorie counter, and a weight app in parallel.

The single most-praised distinctive feature is the medication-level readout. One reviewer describes it as tracking "the amount of medicine in my body based upon when my last shot was," which is the kind of thing people check before deciding whether a rough day is dose-related. Progress photos, body measurements, and macros living in one place also come up repeatedly, as does simplicity: one reviewer who says they tried six trackers picked Pep specifically because it had less to learn than the more popular options.

What reviewers complain about

Billing is the most emotionally charged cluster. Several reviewers describe starting a free or discounted trial and then being charged for a longer plan immediately. A separate group finds the free tier interruptive, with one review consisting entirely of the observation that the app "keeps saying to use this get the pro version."

Functionally, the AI food scanner and barcode scanner draw the most complaints: failed scans, inaccurate results, and gaps in the food database. Reviewers also report that food entries cannot be corrected or do not save, that saved or common meals are not supported, and that the recent meals list carries forward the last serving size logged rather than a standard serving. Support response times and refund difficulty come up more than once, as do stability problems after updates, including one report of losing months of history.

The analytics requests are consistent with what Pep does not describe on its listings: weekly averages, week-to-week weight comparison, visuals connecting dose changes to side effects, smartwatch or activity connections, and fat as a tracked macro.

What Pep's developer has said publicly

The clearest confirmation of Pep's biggest gap comes from Pep itself. In a developer response on its Google Play listing, Shred Apps, LLC tells a reviewer: "Data export is on our roadmap." That is a first-party statement, and it is why this article does not rely on a competitor's comparison table to make the same point.

The same reply also addresses two of the review themes directly. On support: "Sorry support dropped the ball; we want to make it right." On a reviewer's report of a dose reverting to an older value: "that's not right and we're fixing it." Responsive developers are a good sign, and none of this reads as evasive. It does mean that if a doctor-ready export is the feature you need, it does not exist in Pep today.

One more inconsistency worth knowing if you are evaluating Pep from its website: pepglp1.com's feature grid never mentions injection-site rotation or estimated medication levels, both of which the App Store and Google Play descriptions do describe. The site undersells the app.

How do you switch from Pep without losing your history?

Switching summary: Save your old records first, install the new app, enter your current medication and next dose, then start fresh from your next dose day rather than rebuilding months of history by hand. None of these apps offers an importer, so keep Pep installed until you are sure nothing important is missing.

Save your records first

Do not delete anything before you switch. Your Pep history may include medication names, dose changes, injection sites, body measurements, symptom notes, weight milestones, and food entries that are useful at your next appointment.

Pep's August 14 developer reply described export as planned; check the current app before assuming screenshots are your only option. GlucoPal offers CSV exports, and Pro adds provider PDFs for appointments. Our GlucoPal vs Pep comparison compares medication, meal and export workflows.

A clean switch looks like this:

1. 1Open Pep and review your medication history, dose schedule, recent injection sites, weight trend, measurements, and side-effect notes.
2. 2Screenshot the screens you would not want to lose, especially dose history and any symptom patterns you have discussed with your clinician.
3. 3Install the new app and enter your current medication, schedule, goal, and next dose.
4. 4Start fresh from your next injection or pill day instead of recreating every historical entry by hand.
5. 5Keep Pep installed until you are sure your clinician, refill, and personal review questions are covered.

Set the new app up before your next dose

Give yourself a day or two before your next dose to finish setup, because the first entry is where most people quit. Enter the medication and current dose, turn the reminder on for the right day and time, log your starting weight, and set a protein or calorie goal if the app supports one.

If you take an oral GLP-1, set that up on day one rather than after your first missed pill, since daily dosing has a different rhythm from a weekly shot. Our Wegovy pill tracker guide covers what that daily schedule needs to capture.

Neither Pep nor any app in this roundup should be treated as medical advice. A tracker helps you remember what happened between visits; medication changes, missed doses, and severe symptoms belong with your clinician or pharmacist.
