Phaze vs Shotsy
Phaze 1.4 is the complete GLP-1 companion with a Lifestyle Score (0-1000 wellness metric), Ember character companion, AI meal scans, progress photos, and pharmacokinetic tracking. Shotsy 3.0 focuses on injection tracking with new oral GLP-1 support and Maintenance Mode, but lacks AI features and integrated food tracking. Two fundamentally different approaches.

Key differences
These two apps take fundamentally different approaches to supporting your GLP-1 journey.
Complete Companion vs Injection Tracker
Phaze 1.4 covers the entire GLP-1 journey: Lifestyle Score (0-1000 wellness metric), Community Rankings (anonymous, opt-in), Ember Character Widget (home screen companion with 8 poses), Active Calories tracking, medication tracking with a Dose Increase Planner, nutrition (4 logging methods), progress photos, AI features, iCloud backup, side effects, and streaks. Shotsy 3.0 focuses on injection tracking with new oral GLP-1 and Maintenance Mode, but lacks integrated food tracking and AI.
Pharmacokinetic Visualization
Phaze features a real-time Dose Cycle Ring showing medication absorption, peak, and clearance phases, plus a premium Medication Level Chart visualizing plasma concentration. Shotsy paywalls its medication level chart behind premium ($9.99/mo) and does not offer the same depth of pharmacokinetic insight or real-time dose cycle visualization.
Progress Photos & Celebrations
Phaze includes progress photos with 3 comparison modes (Side-by-Side, Slider, Overlay), ghost photo overlay for pose matching, timelapse video export, and the Ember character companion that reacts to your journey with 8 contextual poses on your home screen. Combined with streak tracking and milestone celebrations, it turns your journey into visible achievements. Shotsy has no progress photo features or companion widget.
AI-Powered Features
Phaze Premium includes Gemini-powered AI Meal Scans, AI Diet Chat, Smart Goal Adjustment, and Clinical Trial Comparison. Shotsy has zero AI features — all logging is manual-only with no intelligent food recognition, no AI chat, and no smart adjustments. This is the single biggest feature gap between the two apps.
Common questions
Both apps offer dose tracking and scheduling. Phaze adds injection site rotation with an interactive body map (6 sites), a pharmacokinetic Dose Cycle Ring showing real-time medication phases, FDA-based titration schedules for 10 medication types, and 40+ side effects with severity levels and AI-generated pattern insights. Shotsy 3.0 added oral GLP-1 tracking and Maintenance Mode, but supports fewer medication types than Phaze and paywalls its medication level chart.
Phaze covers all core injection tracking features plus much more: Lifestyle Score (0-1000 wellness metric), Community Rankings, Ember Character Widget, Active Calories tracking, nutrition tracking (4 methods), progress photos with comparison modes, AI features, a Dose Increase Planner with smart reminders, iCloud Backup with AES-256-GCM encryption, and streak milestones. Shotsy has no AI features, no integrated food tracking (users must log food separately), no progress photos, and no companion widget. Shotsy does offer PDF export for healthcare providers and supports 17 languages vs Phaze's 8.
Yes. Phaze's free tier includes dose tracking, injection site rotation, side effect monitoring, nutrition logging, progress photos (4 free), Lifestyle Score, Community Rankings, Ember Character Widget, Active Calories, streak tracking, milestones, daily check-ins, HealthKit sync, widgets, and more. Shotsy's free tier is more limited — it paywalls the medication level chart behind premium ($9.99/mo or $39.99/yr, raised from $29.99/yr after VC funding). Phaze Premium is $4.99/mo or $34.99/yr — annual plan includes a 7-day free trial.
Phaze offers 4 meal logging methods (Quick Add, Common Foods 25+, USDA Search, AI Scan) plus protein, water, fiber, and calorie tracking with animated progress rings. Shotsy has no integrated food tracking — users must log food separately in another app. This is a major gap for anyone wanting a single app to manage their GLP-1 journey.
No. Shotsy focuses on injection tracking and does not offer progress photo features. Phaze includes progress photos with 3 comparison modes, ghost photo overlay for pose matching, premium timelapse video with MP4 export, and the Ember character widget that lives on your home screen with 8 contextual poses reflecting your journey progress.
