Our verdict on MyBestie
MyBestie is an iPhone AI companion for everyday venting, advice, pep talks, outfit feedback, screenshot discussions and check-ins. It suits people who want supportive text chat with ongoing context rather than a general-purpose assistant. Users can choose a Bestie energy, receive notifications during selected check-in windows, and continue conversations using chat history, preferences and memory notes. MyBestie states that it is not therapy, crisis care or a replacement for professional advice.
The freemium structure keeps the basic experience accessible. The Free plan includes an iPhone download, up to 30 text messages per day, Bestie energy selection, check-ins within standard limits, and account and data deletion. Premium costs £5.99 per month and adds unlimited text messages subject to fair use, photos and screenshots, voice notes, an AI-reflected mood journal and trends, plus more room for memory and personalization. Premium pricing is billed monthly through Apple App Store In-App Purchases.
Persistent context and proactive check-ins are the product’s clearest points of distinction. The app can retain preferences and memory notes while supporting mood reflection and notifications, giving conversations more continuity than a chat tool limited to individual sessions. Photo and screenshot sharing also broadens the types of everyday situations it can discuss. However, the experience is limited to iOS, and the free message allowance may not suit frequent users. MyBestie is a fit for people seeking inexpensive, personalized text-based companionship on iPhone; those who need live voice conversations, therapy, crisis support or broader platform access should choose another option.
