Feeder vs Reeder

Feeder tracks online sources selected by the user and brings them together in a reading experience. Sources include blogs, news, weather, government databases, job boards, Mastodon and newsletters. Users can filter posts by keywords or topics, exclude terms, arrange feeds into folders, save favorites, make collections and share content. AI options include summaries, text-to-speech, feeds generated for pages without RSS, and a setup assistant. Listed connections include MCP, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, Zapier and webhooks, although availability depends on plan. 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. It does not provide self-serve API keys; REST API access is available by request for app builders and is part of Enterprise.

Reeder is an inbox for reading, watching, and listening to material from different sources on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Its unified timeline combines RSS feeds, videos, podcasts, and social-media posts. iCloud syncs subscriptions, tagged items, and timeline position across devices, while custom timelines can filter by keywords, media types, or feed types. Links can be saved through the share extension when iCloud for Reeder is enabled. Subscribers can turn tags into public, automatically updating JSON feeds containing up to the latest 50 tagged items; these feeds are hosted on reederapp.net and are public by design. The free plan costs nothing and allows up to 10 feeds, but excludes Shared Feeds, Home timelines from Mastodon, Bluesky, and Micro.blog, and OPML import. The subscription costs $1 a month, billed monthly, covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and includes Shared Feeds. Reeder says it collects no personal information or usage data, apart from data Apple may collect when Share with Developers is enabled.
