Choose Shotsy if you want the category's best estimated-medication-level chart, an Android app, or CSV export, and you're comfortable with an incumbent whose reviewers repeatedly report previously-free features moving behind its subscription. Choose Veya if you want a provider-neutral record with reminders that escalate until you log the dose. Neither app is the right answer for everyone.
Veya vs Shotsy, feature by feature
A chosen set of dimensions, not an exhaustive feature comparison. It deliberately leaves out supply/vial tracking, split dosing and platform availability, none of which are being compared on here. Every cell, including Veya's, is stated as recorded in the underlying research file: "unknown" means unverified, not absent.
| Feature | Veya | Shotsy |
|---|---|---|
| Dose logging | Yes | Yes |
| Dose reminders | Yes | Yes |
| Escalating reminders | Yes | No |
| Injection site rotation | Yes | Yes |
| Side-effect logging | Yes | Yes |
| Weight logging & charts | Yes | Yes |
| Data export | Yes | Yes |
| Estimated medication-level curve | No | Yes |
| Provider-neutral | Yes | Yes |
| Sells medication | No | No |
Where Veya is different
Veya's record isn't tied to whoever prescribes the medication. If you change providers, or move from a telehealth subscription to a local pharmacy, the tracker doesn't need to be rebuilt around the new one: it was never built around any single provider to begin with.
Reminders escalate until the dose is actually logged, breaking through Focus and Do Not Disturb, and the dose can be logged straight from the notification, a gap confirmed absent across every app in the set including Shotsy. Injection-site rotation is shown on a body map with six zones, showing where the last dose went, rather than leaving you to remember it yourself.
History filters by kind, sorts by date, and exports as CSV, and logging works offline first, saving on the phone and syncing when there's a signal.
What Veya genuinely does well Provider-neutral: the record is not tied to whoever writes the prescription. Reminders repeat until the dose is logged.
What Shotsy's reviewers report
Shotsy reviewers have repeatedly reported previously free features moving behind the subscription: a chart, a level estimate, or a report that existed on install and later needed payment. It's the single most recurring complaint across the app's review history, and it shows up on every storefront we sampled.
Multiple Shotsy reviewers across four storefronts have reported losing their history after an app update, sometimes after a routine reinstall. Separately, one Shotsy reviewer reports being told by support that data does not transfer between iOS and Android, which matters if you switch phones as well as apps.
With every update they keep taking away features from the free version. All of a sudden things that have been free forever are now features you can only see if you pay for them. Yeah, no thanks. Time to uninstall.
The update just erased all my data and progress... I'll be switching to a different app now, they just ruined it. I can't believe all my data from the past 6 months is gone.
I installed my original Shotsy on an iPhone. I have since switched to an Android and my data isn't available. I'm told that the data is separated and I'll the data and reinstall manually in my android. I have two years of data. It's a waste of time.
What Shotsy does better
Shotsy's estimated medication-level chart covers more molecules than any rival in this comparison. Shotsy also ships an Android app, supports CSV export, and carries the largest review base of any tracker we cover.
What Shotsy genuinely does well Estimated medication-level chart covering semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide and dulaglutide. Supports CSV export.
Which one you should pick
If the medication-level chart is the feature you actually use to make dosing decisions, or you need an Android app, Shotsy covers both today. If you'd rather your record wasn't tied to a single provider, or you want reminders that escalate until a dose is actually logged, Veya is built around that instead. Reasonable people land on either side of this, and the honest answer depends on which of those two experiences you'd rather avoid.
Is Veya better than Shotsy?
Neither app is better in every respect. Shotsy has an Android app, CSV export, and an estimated medication-level chart that covers more molecules than any rival. Veya is provider-neutral, with reminders that escalate until a dose is actually logged.
Does Shotsy have a paywall problem?
Shotsy reviewers have repeatedly reported features that were previously free moving behind the subscription after updates, which is the most common complaint in its review history across every storefront we sampled.
Can I move my data from Shotsy to Veya?
Whatever you decide, export your Shotsy history first using Shotsy's own CSV export, documented in its App Store version history, before you delete anything, so you have a record of what you've logged so far.
Does Veya have Shotsy's medication-level chart?
Not currently, and that's a considered choice rather than a gap. An estimated medication-level curve is a model, not a measurement: how quickly a person clears their medication varies with body weight, height, metabolism and dose history, so the same estimate can sit some way off for two people on an identical dose. A figure presented with more precision than the underlying model supports isn't something we'd want to hand a prescriber. Veya focuses on recording what you actually took and when, which is the part that's exact.
Is Veya provider-neutral?
Yes. Veya's record isn't tied to whoever writes the prescription, and it doesn't sell or prescribe medication itself. If you change providers, or move from a telehealth subscription to a local pharmacy, the tracker doesn't need to be rebuilt around the new one.
