DeePace builds a plan around your life — movement, meals and rest — and moves at the pace you can actually keep. Most fitness apps ask you to fit into their program. DeePace does the opposite: your plan is shaped by your level, your schedule, and the time you actually have. YOUR PLAN Answer a few questions and get a 28-day Tai Chi and walking plan. It tells you what to do today — no decisions, no guesswork, no endless scrolling before you start. WORKOUT LIBRARY Browse Tai Chi, indoor walking, Chair Yoga, mobility, and calisthenics sessions you can do at home. New Chair Yoga workouts take just a few minutes and are done seated — an easy way to move if standing sessions feel like too much. MEAL PLANNER Pick breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks from simple recipes with calories, protein, carbs, and fat for every dish. Filter by what suits you — under 300 kcal, vegetarian, vegan, and more — and follow easy step-by-step cooking instructions. BETTER SLEEP WORKBOOK A gentle 10-page guide to understand your evening habits and build a calmer routine, with a 7-day tracker to see what helps you rest. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Keep your steps, calories, water, and weight in one place. The focus is consistency — how often you show up, not how hard you pushed. BUILT FOR REAL WEEKS Missed a day? Nothing resets. No streak shaming, no guilt screens. You pick up where you left off. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health to bring in your steps and calories automatically.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shapely at 100% against DeePace's 10%. Shapely also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). DeePace's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
