As humans, we’re hardwired for connection. Belonging to a community makes us feel safe and helps us thrive. But so often, living with multiple sclerosis (MS) can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also feel like no one understands what it’s like. Until now. Our mission is to cultivate a space powered by the MS community and empowered by each other. From one-to-one chats to conversation forums, we make connecting easy. This is a safe place to find and receive advice, to seek and offer support, and to discover the authentic stories of members, just like you. Bezzy MS is a free online platform bringing new meaning to the word “community.” Our aim is to create an experience where: - everyone feels seen, valued, and understood - everyone’s story matters - shared vulnerability is the name of the game Bezzy MS is a place where you are more than your MS. It’s a place where, finally, you belong. HOW IT WORKS Social-first Content Like all of your favorite social networks, we’ve designed an activity feed to connect you with other members living with multiple sclerosis.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My MS Buddy at 100% against Bezzy MS's 53%. My MS Buddy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bezzy MS's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bezzy MS holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bezzy MS has 1.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Bezzy MS's written reviews are positive against 100% of My MS Buddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bezzy MS ships an update every 2 weeks, My MS Buddy every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
