Poky alternatives: an honest comparison
Stay with Poky if you want a deliberately calm, minimal shot log and are happy with its subscription. It holds 4.64★ across 11 ratings, which is real evidence that the fundamentals work. Look elsewhere if you reconstitute vials, want AI food scanning with GLP-1-specific verdicts, or want the dose calculator and estimated levels without paying.
When to stay with Poky
A calm, minimal GLP-1 and peptide shot log with medication-level curves and injection-site rotation. Its own listing states a subscription is required to use the app. Switching trackers means leaving your dose history behind, so a small feature gap is rarely worth it. The reasons that genuinely justify a move are structural: your medication does not fit the app's model, or a capability you need every week simply is not there.
When another app fits better
- You reconstitute vials. Poky does not advertise a reconstitution calculator. Bo, PeptidePal, Pep AI, Regimen and OptiPin do.
- You take peptides alongside a GLP-1. GLP-1-first apps are built around one branded medication; peptide-first apps expect several compounds on different schedules.
- You want to pay nothing. Injectly and Glippy advertise no in-app purchases at all.
- You want sourced estimated levels. Bo publishes the half-life and time-to-peak behind every curve with a link to the FDA label or study, and marks where human data is limited. See the chart.
The comparison
A checkmark means the feature is advertised by the developer; a dash means it is not advertised, which is not proof of absence.

About Bo
Bo is my app, so here is the honest shape of it: it is built for people reconstituting vials who also want food and weight in one place, it has a free calculator and free estimated levels, and it has no cloud sync and no Android version. If either of those is a dealbreaker, Poky or one of the others above is the better choice, and I would rather say so than have you find out after switching.
