Comparison · disclosed bias
A feature-by-feature look at the trackers people actually search for, including ours. Every competitor cell below is sourced to a specific, dated finding; where we couldn't verify something, it says so instead of guessing.
Pulled from a direct competitive teardown (app-store metadata via Apple/Google's own public APIs, plus each vendor's own pricing and marketing pages) and a separate pass reading each app's own public App Store reviews. Both research passes are dated 2026-08-26/27. "Not verified" means the research did not find a sourceable answer — not that the answer is no.
| Tracker | Price model | Subscription? | Account required? | Data stays on device? | Phase / cycle modeling | Vial forecasting | Decision log | Public test suite |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PeptIQ | Free tier + Premium $19.99/mo or $99/yr1 | Yes | Yes — login required2 | Not verified | Not verified as cycle/on-off modeling1 | Yes — vial inventory/calculators1 | No — not found3 | No — not found1 |
| Regimen | Free (1 compound) + Premium $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr1 | Yes | Not verified — but requires an internet connection to run at all2 | No — no offline mode; won't run without a connection2 | Yes — named cycles with alerts1 | Yes — inventory + low-stock alerts (not confirmed as a burn-rate forecast)1 | No — not found3 | No — not found1 |
| Shotsy | Free + Premium $49.99/yr (raised from $29.99/yr post-funding)1 | Yes | Not verified — reviewers describe entering "a lot of personal info" before pricing is shown2 | Not verified | No — narrower scope, a single injectable category, not general multi-compound protocols1 | Not verified / likely not applicable to its narrower scope1 | No — not found3 | No — not found1 |
| Smart Peptide Tracker | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified |
| SHOTLOG | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | No — fully manual daily entry, no auto-scheduling, per its own reviewers1 | Not verified | No — not found3 | No — not found1 |
| VialMath | $24 — one time4 | No — architecturally impossible, no server-side entitlement exists5 | No account, anywhere4 | Yes — one-time license check at activation only, no protocol data ever leaves the device4 | Yes — named phases, four schedule types including N-on/M-off cycles4 | Yes — burn-rate projection with a computed reorder-by date4 | Yes — gate checks with a permanent logged-decision record4 | Yes — runs in your own browser at /tests4 |
1 research/peptide-tracker-teardown-2026-08-25.md — direct
iTunes/Google Play API pulls and each vendor's own site/pricing page, 2026-08-26.
2 research/low-star-review-mine-2026-08-27.md — quoted
directly from each app's public App Store review feed (Apple's public RSS
endpoint), 196 reviews rated ≤3★ read in full, 2026-08-27.
3 Absence noted across both research passes — neither a "decision
log" / gate-check feature nor a public test suite was found described on any
competitor's site, store listing, or review text searched. Absence of evidence,
not confirmed absence — flagged as "No — not found" rather than a stronger claim.
4 This site and products/protocol-engine/app/app.js — the
one-time license check and no-data-leaves-device claim are the exact scoped
wording cleared by counsel (see Privacy).
5 research/low-star-review-mine-2026-08-27.md, section
(c)(1): grepped app.js/index.html for "subscri",
"account", "login" — zero hits; the app makes no network calls capable of
gating a feature behind payment after purchase.
A comparison that only ever favors the author isn't trustworthy. These are real, sourced advantages the competitors above have — not softened, not buried.
