GLPMate vs Shotsy
Shotsy is the category veteran and a good app. This page is for people wondering what a newer generation looks like — with the differences, both directions, stated plainly.
Choose GLPMate over Shotsy if you want chat-based logging, a free medication-level curve, a doctor PDF report, broader health logs or one of 49 languages. Choose Shotsy if a long track record and years of reviews matter most. Both handle core shot tracking well.

When Shotsy is the right call
If you mainly want a mature, battle-tested shot tracker and take comfort in a million downloads’ worth of reviews, Shotsy earns its spot — and we’d rather you pick it than distrust this page. Our bet is different: that the next generation of tracking is conversational, transparent about price, and generous with the science.

Switching questions
Why do people look for Shotsy alternatives?
The most common reasons we hear: the medication-level chart being a paid feature, wanting broader health logs (sleep, glucose, blood pressure, appetite), wanting a doctor-ready report, and — since assistants became real — wanting to log by chat instead of forms.
What does GLPMate have that Shotsy doesn’t?
A genuine AI assistant (19 read + 13 confirm-gated write tools), a free cadence-aware level curve, a doctor PDF report, four extra health-log types, 49 languages and public pricing.
What does Shotsy do better than GLPMate?
Track record — it’s the category veteran with over a million downloads and years of reviews. Its website is also localized into ~9 languages, and its Maintenance Mode branding is a nice touch. If proven-ness is your top criterion, Shotsy is a fine choice.
Can I move my Shotsy data into GLPMate?
Not automatically yet — cross-app import is rare in this category (in both directions). You can start GLPMate fresh and backfill key doses manually; import tooling is on our roadmap.
Is GLPMate cheaper than Shotsy?
We can only publish our own numbers: $7.99/month or $69.99/year, with the level curve free. Shotsy doesn’t publish pricing on its site, so compare inside the apps before deciding.
