The Free plan allows up to 200 feeds, with checks as often as every 30 minutes; the default interval is every two hours. It includes 50 posts of history per feed and two AI summaries per day. Plus costs $9.99 a month, and Professional costs $19.99 a month. Enterprise pricing is available by contacting sales. Feeder is available on Android, iOS, web and as a browser extension.
