MyProtocolStack vs Heads Up Health: Health Data Aggregator vs Protocol Tracker

Heads Up Health aggregates data from 100+ wearables and labs. MyProtocolStack focuses on peptide protocols and lab analysis. When each fits.

Quick Take Heads Up Health is one of the longest-running health data aggregators — they connect to 100+ wearables and lab services and centralize everything in one dashboard. They're a generalist platform with broad integration depth. MyProtocolStack is a specialist platform for peptide and protocol users with AI panel analysis. Different scope, different audience. We compare them because they often appear in "best health tracking app" searches.

What Heads Up Does Well

Heads Up Health has been around since 2014, which in health-tech years is forever. Their core strength is integration breadth:

•**Wearable connections** — Oura, Whoop, Garmin, Fitbit, Apple Health, Withings, etc.

•**Lab integrations** — direct connections to several lab services (some auto-import)

•**CGM integration** — pairs with Dexcom, Libre, etc.

•**Custom marker tracking** — log anything from supplements to symptoms

•**Cross-correlation views** — compare any two inputs over time (e.g., HRV vs sleep quality)

•**CSV export** — power users can pull all their data into spreadsheets or other tools

If your tracking spans many sources — multiple wearables, multiple lab services, CGM, manual entries — Heads Up's selling point is "we connect to all of it."

Where Heads Up Stops Short

Heads Up is a generalist aggregator. The trade-off of being broad is being shallow on any specific use case:

•**No peptide-specific tooling** — no reconstitution calculator, no vial inventory, no compound library, no half-life decay charts

•**No StackAI-style protocol-aware analysis** — their visualizations are generic ("your ApoB is high"), not "your ApoB rose since you started compound X 8 weeks ago"

•**UI complexity** — power users love it, casual users find it overwhelming

•**Lab interpretations** — they aggregate values but don't deeply interpret them in protocol context

•**Slower roadmap** — the platform looks much like it did 5 years ago in core UX

For a casual health tracker who wants everything in one place and doesn't mind a steeper learning curve, Heads Up is genuinely impressive. For a peptide user who wants protocol-specific tools and AI-assisted panel reading, it doesn't go that deep.

What MyProtocolStack Adds

MyProtocolStack is purpose-built for peptide, GLP-1, hormone, and longevity-protocol users. We don't try to be a generalist aggregator — we go deep on the protocol layer.

•**Compound library** — 35+ peptides + GLP-1s with dosing references, half-life data, cycle considerations

•**StackAI** — AI panel analysis specifically aware of which compounds you're running

•**Reconstitution calculator** — for users mixing peptides at home

•**Vial inventory** — track expiry, doses remaining, reorder reminders

•**Injection site rotation** — body-map UI that shows next-best site based on usage

•**Cycle planning** — on/off scheduling with adherence tracking

•**Half-life decay charts** — visualize compound levels in your system over time

•**Lab tracking** — upload PDFs from any lab source, biomarkers parsed

•**Macros and body** — full macro tracker, body composition tracking

•**Peptide stack templates** — Wolverine, Glow, Hollywood, common protocol templates as starting points

Pricing

Heads Up Health offers a free tier (limited integrations) and paid tiers around $24.99/mo for full access (depending on plan).

MyProtocolStack is $14.99/mo or $90/yr ($7.50/mo annual). The free Explorer tier covers manual lab entry, the peptide library, and the reconstitution calculator.

If you only need broad data aggregation, Heads Up's pricing reflects the integration cost. If your priority is the peptide/protocol layer, MyProtocolStack is purpose-built and cheaper.

When Heads Up Is the Right Call

•You have many wearables and want them all in one dashboard

•You use a CGM and want it integrated with everything else

•You're a power user who wants every metric correlatable

•You don't run peptides and prioritize broad data aggregation over protocol-specific tooling

•You're comfortable with a steeper UI learning curve

When MyProtocolStack Is the Right Call

•You're running peptides, GLP-1s, TRT, or hormone protocols

•You want AI panel analysis that knows about the compounds you're using

•You want reconstitution calculators, vial inventory, half-life charts

•You want a focused UI rather than a kitchen-sink dashboard

•You want labs, peptides, macros, and body data in one place without 100+ integrations to manage

The Honest Verdict

Heads Up Health is the best generalist health-data aggregator. If integration breadth is your top priority, they win. We don't try to compete on integration count — we go deep on the protocol layer.

MyProtocolStack is the better fit for peptide and longevity protocol users. The compound library, StackAI, dose logging, vial inventory, and protocol-aware analysis don't exist in Heads Up. If you're tracking protocols seriously, this is what we built.

For users who want both broad aggregation AND protocol depth: run both. Use Heads Up for wearable data correlation, use MyProtocolStack for the labs and peptide layer. They're not redundant.
