Most health apps weren't built for GLP-1 users. They don't track food noise. They don't understand injection schedules. They don't connect weight trends to dose changes. GLP Buddy does because it was built by someone on this journey, too. —————————————————————————— DISCLAIMER GLP Buddy is a personal logging and tracking tool. It is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider regarding your medication and health decisions. —————————————————————————— SUBSCRIPTION GLP Buddy requires a subscription to access all features.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: GLPea at free with in-app purchases against GLP Buddy's subscription. GLP Buddy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GLP Buddy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and GLPea sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for GLP Buddy against 5.0 for GLPea. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GLP Buddy has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
GLP Buddy ships an update weekly, GLPea fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
