Fluent Reader vs Inoreader

Fluent Reader is a free, open-source news aggregator and RSS reader for desktop, built for local, distraction-free reading. Its built-in article view handles RSS full text and can use Mercury Parser to load full text; webpages can also open inside the app or externally. Search spans titles and article contents, with regular expressions available for searches and rules that can mark, hide, or star articles. Subscriptions can be grouped, imported or exported as OPML, and included in backups. Desktop versions are distributed for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports Inoreader, Feedbin, and services compatible with Fever or Google Reader API, alongside listed compatibility with services such as FreshRSS, Miniflux, The Old Reader, BazQux Reader, and Tiny Tiny RSS. Fluent Reader Lite offers iOS TestFlight access and Android APK downloads. The project says it does not collect, store, or share personal information. However, a connected RSS service may see activity through its API, and connecting one removes local articles with matching source URLs while retaining rules and preferences.

Inoreader brings websites, creators, newsletters, and other sources into a personalized newsfeed for collecting articles and discovering content. It supports RSS and web feeds, social listening, podcasts, and Google News alerts. Monitoring feeds follow people, brands, companies, trends, and events, with search in 30 languages. Rules and filters organize items with tags and folders or automate actions such as applying tags and sending push notifications. Inoreader Intelligence can summarize articles, identify named entities, process podcasts and videos, suggest tags, and generate reports. Integrations include IFTTT, Zapier, and n8n, with exports to Pocket, Evernote, OneNote, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Instapaper. The Free plan allows 150 RSS feed subscriptions. Pro costs €6.67 a month when billed annually, or 8,99 € billed monthly, and includes 2,500 RSS subscriptions, 20 web feeds, and 20 newsletter feeds. Pro guarantees a maximum refresh interval of once every hour. A 14-day trial requires no credit card. API access for other uses requires Pro and a sales quote.
