The core differences: a 0–100 GLP-1 Meal Score for every meal, a 24/7 AI coach grounded in your own logs, an estimated medication level chart, and side effects tracked beside dose days — the GLP-1-specific layer general tools don't have.
Honestly: the adaptive tdee algorithm; serious, science-first coaching for precision-minded users. If those are your deciding factor, MacroFactor is a fine choice.
Yes — some people do. A common pattern: GLP AI for the GLP-1 journey (doses, Meal Score, symptoms, levels) and MacroFactor for its specialty. Most users find GLP AI covers the daily job on its own.
GLP AI's free plan covers core tracking; GLP AI Premium unlocks the full experience — the 24/7 AI coach, GLP-1 Meal Score, and medication level chart.
GLP AI keeps doses, symptoms, meals, and weight on one timeline, which is exactly what "how has it been going?" is asking for at an appointment.
Any GLP-1 — Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Saxenda, and compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — wherever the prescription comes from.
MacroFactor optimizes calorie and macro targets; GLP AI optimizes the GLP-1 journey — meals scored for medication needs, symptoms beside dose days, and an AI coach that knows your history. On a GLP-1, appetite is handled by the medication; understanding the journey is the harder job.
