GymBets vs Protocol
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
GymBets
This app uses a group-based system with virtual stakes to encourage users to meet their fitness goals. Participants submit daily proofs of their gym activity, and those who fail to meet their goals or submit invalid proofs risk losing their stake to the rest of the group.
- Group accountability cohorts
- Virtual asset staking
- Daily proof of gym activity
- Consensus-based validation
- Stake slashing for non-compliance
- Incentivizes habit formation

GymBets combines self-accountability with a group environment to provide a platform that promotes discipline, our app incentivizes discipline through virtual stakes by matching users in a cohort of 8 total people, all of which stake some sort of assets into the pool. Through a tendermint style PBFT consensus algorithm, stakers have to submit proofs every day that they are keeping up with their gym goals whether than be submitting a picture of them at the gym or really any sort of proof that gets 2/3s of validators to approve the proof. The first two people in the cohort to slip up and either fail their discipline goals or submit a non-intuitive proof (likely meaning they skipped the gym and lied) get their stake slashed and distributed evenly amongst the rest of the cohort. The thesis of GymBets is that in a perfect scenario where an individual is 100 percent disciplined - there is no way for them to lose, rather only letting them win on our app. Furthermore, when coupled with a stake our app actually incentivizes users to routinely go to the gym and make it a habit for them. Our app creates a win-win situation with going to the gym, letting users get more into fitness while also making fake money.

Protocol is the ultimate lab app for your peptide cycles — a premium iOS tracker for people who treat their stack seriously. Log every injection in micrograms, ride the streak, and keep your reconstitution, injection technique, and safety guides one tap away. WHAT YOU CAN DO Build your stack - Add from a curated library of 25+ compounds: BPC-157, TB-500, Tirzepatide, Cagrilintide, Retatrutide, Semaglutide, GHK-Cu, CJC-1295 (no DAC), Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, NAD+, MOTS-c, Humanin, SS-31, AOD-9604, Pinealon, Selank, Semax, DSIP, PT-141, KPV, Thymosin alpha-1, VIP, SLU-PP-332. - Configure each entry: dose amount in micrograms, milligrams, or IU; frequency (daily, every other day, twice daily, post-workout, weekly, custom); a color tag; private notes. - Add custom compounds outside the library. Edit or pause any entry at any time. Log doses in one tap - The Today screen shows your full stack. Tap "Log" — the dose is recorded with the right amount, unit, and timestamp. - Mistapped? Undo the last log instantly. - A day badge shows how many doses you've taken for each peptide today (×1, ×2, ×3). Streaks and history - Streak counter on Today and Profile counts consecutive days with at least one dose. - "This week" and "All time" totals sit next to the streak. - Pull to refresh; everything syncs to the cloud the moment you tap. Reminders that match real protocols - Per-peptide reminders: pick times of day, days of week, AM/PM windows, post-workout cues. - Native iOS notifications, respectful of Do Not Disturb and Focus modes. - The Notifications screen logs every reminder fire and streak milestone in one feed. Built-in safety and how-to guide - 10 in-app chapters written for the peptide-curious and the long-cycle stacker: • Important disclaimer — what this app is and isn't • Your first cycle — where to start • Reconstitution — mixing lyophilized peptides safely • Injection technique (subQ) in 6 steps • Storage & shelf life — lyophilized vs reconstituted • Side effects — common, rare, and red flags • Stacking & cycling — combinations that make sense • Bloodwork to monitor — what to test and when • Sourcing & purity — how to verify what you're injecting • Legal status — know what's allowed where you live Tailored from day one - Onboarding asks two questions: what are you here for (recovery, longevity, performance, GH, cognitive, metabolic, sleep, sexual, immune, skin, weight loss) and your experience level (new, some experience, advanced). - Library and protocol suggestions adjust accordingly. Edit goals & experience anytime from your profile. Profile and identity - Display name, handle, bio, avatar. - At-a-glance stats: total doses logged, current streak, active goals. - Sign in with Email or Google. Privacy-first — no social feed, no public timeline, no follower count. WHAT'S INTENTIONAL - No ads, no social feed, no in-app purchases inside the tracker. - Your data stays yours. WHO IT'S FOR - People running 1–5 compounds at a time who keep their dose log in Notes and forget which vial they're three days into. - First-cycle users who want a clean reference for reconstitution and injection technique before they self-experiment. - Long-cycle stackers who want streaks, weekly volume, and full historical doses on tap. DISCLAIMER Peptide is a tracking and reference tool, not a medical device. Nothing in the app is medical advice or a prescription. Consult a qualified physician before starting any protocol.
