MyTherapy Alternative: Pillzy vs MyTherapy Compared

MyTherapy is a health journal with reminders built in; Pillzy is a reminder app and nothing else. If you opened MyTherapy for pill reminders and found yourself scrolling past blood pressure charts, streaks and ads, Pillzy is the simpler alternative. Every fact about MyTherapy below comes from its own App Store and Google Play listings, checked in October 2026, and we have kept its strengths in. This page is part of our guide on how to never miss a dose.

Pillzy vs MyTherapy at a Glance

Feature by Feature

"Not listed" means we could not find the feature on that app's store listing.

Where MyTherapy Is Stronger

MyTherapy covers far more than pills, and for some people that is the point.

• Health measurements. It reminds you to record more than 20 measurements, including blood pressure, weight, blood oxygen and blood sugar, and charts them over time. If you check blood pressure or blood sugar at home, readings and pills sit in one place.
• A full health journal. A symptom and pain diary and a mood tracker help you spot patterns to bring to an appointment.
• Injection site rotation. It records where you injected and helps you rotate sites.
• Languages and accessibility. MyTherapy comes in 32 languages, and its App Store listing declares VoiceOver, Larger Text and Sufficient Contrast support. Pillzy is in English only and has not yet declared accessibility features on the App Store.
• A long track record. Google Play shows more than 5 million downloads and about 243,000 reviews averaging 4.5 stars. Pillzy is much newer.

If any of these is why you use a reminder app, stay with MyTherapy.

Where Pillzy Is Stronger

Pillzy is built to do one job: remind you, then record what you took. Add a medicine with its name, dose and instructions, then take a photo of the pill or box, so the screen matches what is in your hand. Schedules can be daily, on certain weekdays or custom, grouped into morning, afternoon and evening. When a reminder arrives, mark the dose taken, skip it or snooze it, and a follow-up asks you to confirm if you have not answered.

Every dose lands in a history with statistics and a calendar planner. Pillzy counts down your pills, sends a refill reminder before you run out, and sends expiry alerts for old stock.

There is no health journal, no streaks and no measurements to set up. Pillzy's Google Play listing shows no "Contains ads" label. On the App Store privacy labels, which each developer provides, MyTherapy lists identifiers as data used to track you; Pillzy lists none.

Which App Should You Choose?

Choose MyTherapy if

You want your medicines and your health readings in the same app. MyTherapy suits someone managing a long-term condition who records blood pressure, weight or blood sugar, keeps a symptom or pain diary, or injects medicine and wants site rotation. It is also the better pick if you need the app in a language other than English, or rely on VoiceOver or larger text. If the ads bother you, check the ad-free options in the app before you subscribe.

Choose Pillzy if

You want reminders and a reliable record, and nothing else. Pillzy suits people who take a few prescriptions plus vitamins such as a daily multivitamin, anyone who tells pills apart by how they look, and family members tracking a parent's routine on their own phone. Our guide to caregiver medication tracking covers that setup.

Consider neither if

You want drug interaction warnings or an alert sent to a relative when a dose is missed. Medisafe offers both; our Pillzy vs Medisafe comparison covers it. For a built-in iPhone option, see our list of the best medication reminder apps for seniors.

Switching From MyTherapy to Pillzy

There is no import between the two apps, so switching means re-entering your medicines. For most routines it takes a few minutes.

1. Save your MyTherapy report first. Open its health reports and keep the latest one for your records or your next appointment.
2. List what you take. Write down each medicine or supplement, the dose and the exact times, copied from your prescription labels rather than from memory.
3. Add each one in Pillzy. Enter the name, dose and instructions, take a photo of the pill or box, then set the schedule and reminder times.
4. Run both apps for a day or two. Check that every reminder arrives at the right time before you turn MyTherapy's reminders off.
5. Turn off the old reminders. Two apps reminding you about the same pill is how double doses happen.

The Verdict

MyTherapy is the fuller health tracker; Pillzy is the simpler reminder. If you log readings, symptoms or injections, or need the app in your own language, MyTherapy does more and has years of users behind it. If you only want each dose reminded, confirmed and recorded, with pill photos, refill and expiry alerts and no ads, Pillzy gets you there with less to set up.
