# Peptide Library vs Pep AI: GLP-1 Wellness Tracking or Peptide Research?

Nutrition, symptoms and AI on one side; research, vendor pricing and inventory on the other. Here is how they line up.

## Quick verdict

Pep AI is built around a GLP-1 routine: shots, food and protein, side effects, sleep and mood, with an AI companion called Arlo, an Apple Watch app and PDF reports. If that's your day-to-day, it's likely the better fit. Peptide Library is built for peptide research, with cited profiles, publication data and vendor price comparison, plus tracking and inventory, and its free plan includes tracking.

### Choose Peptide Library if

- You want to track without a subscription: Pep AI's listing says tracking needs a paid plan.
- You research several peptides and want cited profiles and research statistics.
- You buy research compounds and want vendor listings with price per mg.
- You want a web app, or inventory with run-out and reorder-by dates.

### Choose Pep AI if

- You're on a GLP-1 medication and care most about food, protein, water and side effects.
- You want photo meal scans and nutrition trends.
- You want an Apple Watch app and an AI companion.
- You want PDF reports to review with a healthcare provider.

## Key differences

### Wellness routine or research workflow

Pep AI ties shots to nutrition, hydration, symptoms, sleep and mood. Peptide Library ties your log to cited research, inventory planning and vendor prices.

### Tracking on a free plan

Pep AI's listing says a paid subscription is required for its tracking features. Peptide Library's free plan includes logging, schedules, reminders, the journal and body metrics.

### AI in the app

Arlo answers general educational questions inside Pep AI. Peptide Library has no in-app AI; its public research profiles can be read by AI assistants through a read-only MCP server.

### Calculators

Pep AI's 4.0.4 release notes say its dose calculator was removed to keep the app on the App Store. Peptide Library's calculator is on Android and on the website.

## Research

Pep AI's current US description doesn't describe a compound library; its research help comes from Arlo, which answers general educational questions about peptides and GLP-1s, and from in-app help articles.

Peptide Library's 200+ profiles cite PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, DailyMed and EMA sources and label studies by evidence type. The Research Intelligence Center adds publication and trial statistics, and you can compare peptides side by side.

## Tracking

Both apps log shots and doses, give each item its own schedule and reminder times, and rotate injection sites on a body map. Pep AI adds a daily timeline, links symptoms to your dose history and estimates medication levels.

Peptide Library adds on/off cycles and titration in its schedules, and an inventory that deducts stock as you log and forecasts run-out and reorder-by dates. Pep AI organises vials with photos, but its listing does not describe stock forecasting.

Both track weight and progress photos. Peptide Library's journal covers mood, energy, sleep and symptoms; Pep AI covers those and adds nutrition and hydration.

## Vendors

Pep AI doesn't advertise vendor listings or price comparison. If you buy research compounds and want to compare sources, Peptide Library's Shop lists vendor offers by compound and form, with price per mg after coupon codes and vendor profiles with reviews.

## Pricing

Pep AI is free to download, but its listing says tracking requires a paid subscription; the App Store lists $9.99 a month and yearly plans from $29.99 to $59.99. Peptide Library's free plan includes tracking, and Pro is $4.99 a month, $39.99 a year or $89.99 once.

## Where Pep AI is stronger

### Nutrition with photo meal scans

Calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and water, with quick log, saved meals and estimated macros from a photo. Peptide Library does not track nutrition.

### Symptoms linked to doses

Log nausea, fatigue and appetite changes with severity and timing, and see them against your dose history.

### Apple Watch and an AI companion

A redesigned Watch app, Live Activities and Arlo for general questions.

### Reports for your provider

PDF reports that pull nutrition, sleep, side effects and progress together.

## Final verdict

Pep AI is the better fit for a GLP-1 routine centred on food, hydration and how you feel. Peptide Library is the better fit when you research peptides, manage stock and compare vendors, and want to start without a subscription.

The two don't compete for every user. Peptide Library's research pages and vendor prices are free on the web without an account, so you can use them next to any tracker.
