Both are free to download. The MSing Link sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. My MS Buddy asks for nothing beyond the download.
The MSing Link holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of The MSing Link'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.
The MSing Link ships an update every 3 weeks, My MS Buddy every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
