Learning to transpose things is a skill- practice it and you don't need to rely on electronics that don't really do the job.
If you want to know how to transpose in your head then look into the Nashville Numbering System.

We play Superstition in Eb. Since I don’t bring an Eb tuned guitar, and certainly wouldn’t pause to change guitar at that point in the set, I use a pitch shift. To cover the processing delay I let through the first 6/100 of a second at normal pitch, that’s sound of the pick striking the string, and the rest of the note is detuned.
As @octatonic says, learn to transpose. It adds new life to a song. The only times when you might find it difficult is if the song needs a mixture of fretted and open strings, and the open string isn’t in the key you want. The other is if you’re playing a transposed solo and you run out of frets.
But... with distorted tones, it sounded decent enough. So, horses for courses...

I think the Digitech Drop works in a similar fashion.
As far as I'm concerned, all the other polyphonic pitch shifting pedals are...balls...in that they alter the core sound far too much, even the revered POG. Loads of people (myself included) have problems with the equivalent block in the Helix, although Jen Majura (Evanescence) said in an interview that she uses it live and is really pleased with it. Take that as you will
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
