PeptIQ
vs pinning.
PeptIQ is the peptide tracker with a vial scanner: point the camera at a label and it fills in the compound. It runs on iOS and Android and sits at the top of the price range. pinning has no scanner and no chatbot, is iOS only, and is free for the tracking itself.
We make pinning, so this is not an independent review. Everything below about PeptIQ was checked on 6 September 2026 against what they publish themselves. Prices and features move — check theirs before deciding.
What PeptIQ is
A peptide tracker built around automation — a scanner that reads a vial label and pre-fills the details, plus an AI assistant that answers questions about compounds.
Where PeptIQ is stronger
The scanner saves real typing
Reading the label instead of entering it is the single biggest time saving available in this kind of app, and pinning does not do it. Adding a vial here means typing what is on it.
Android
PeptIQ ships on both platforms. pinning is iOS only.
Where pinning differs
No chatbot answering about compounds
This is deliberate rather than missing. A model answering questions about substances that have barely been studied in humans produces fluent text whether or not there is anything behind it. pinning shows the reference entry and, where nothing is behind it, says so.
The tracking costs nothing
PeptIQ sits at the top of the price range in this category — a figure of around $150 a year has been published in comparisons. In pinning the log, the curves and the calculator are free permanently.
A pin names its vial
Each dose is booked against a specific vial, so depletion is counted rather than estimated.

Choose PeptIQ if
You add vials often and want the label read for you, or you are on Android.
Choose pinning if
You would rather have a reference that admits what is unknown than one that always has an answer, or you do not want to pay to keep a log.
What is the best alternative to PeptIQ?
Regimen if you want comparable breadth on both platforms, pinning if you want the log without the subscription and without an AI answering questions about compounds nobody has studied properly.
Does any peptide tracker scan vial labels?
PeptIQ and Dosely offer label scanning. pinning does not — a vial is entered by hand.
