About Our Name: The Difference Between Moddy and Moody

At Moddy, we’re inspired by the trusted reputation of Moody’s—a name that’s become synonymous with reliability and trustworthiness in the world of finance. But while Moody’s focuses on the big leagues, Moddy is here to champion the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that drive our communities. And yes, we might be a bit cheeky to choose a name that sounds similar, but we think it fits.

Pronunciation Matters:

The pronunciation of "Moddy" and "Moody’s" in English is similar but not exactly the same—just like our focus.

  • Moody’s: Pronounced /ˈmuː.di/, with a long "oo" sound as in "moon." This longer pronunciation reflects the broad, expansive scope of the large organizations it serves.
  • Moddy: Typically pronounced /ˈmɒd.i/ or /ˈmɑːd.i/, with a short "o" sound as in "hot" or "lot." This shorter pronunciation suits us perfectly—quick, efficient, and aligned with the dynamic nature of smaller businesses.

No Connection to Moody:

Although the names sound similar, Moddy and Moody are entirely separate entities. Moddy.com is not affiliated with Moody’s in any way. Think of us as the ambitious player, determined to establish the same level of trust and integrity in the online review world that Moody’s brings to finance ratings.

Moddy’s Vision: Building Trust for SMEs

At Moddy, we’re dedicated to creating the most trusted online review platform for small and medium-sized businesses. We’re here to ensure that a common flaw in most review platforms—the disproportionate weight given to extreme opinions—is corrected. Our approach encourages the majority of silent, happy customers to speak up, providing a more accurate and fair representation of your business.

Moddy is on its way to becoming a name you can trust—just like the more established, but distinctly different, Moody’s.
