NewsBlur vs Newsify

NewsBlur is a personal reader for RSS and web feeds, synchronized across web, iOS, Android, API, and self-hosted use. Readers can train feeds to highlight or hide stories by author, tag, and title; the Archive plan adds full-text training. Web Feeds monitor sites without RSS and present updates as custom feeds. The free plan supports up to 64 sites, real-time RSS updates, story saving, training, and mobile apps. New accounts receive a 30-day premium trial without a credit card, then retain feeds and training on the free tier. Premium costs $36 a year, Premium Pro $29 a month, and Premium Archive $99 a year. Depending on plan, features include search, larger site limits, more frequent fetching, River of News, story clustering, permanent searchable archives, Ask AI, daily briefings, and MCP tools. NewsBlur also describes IFTTT and Zapier workflows, a public API, third-party reader sync, and open-source self-hosting.

Newsify is an RSS reader for following websites, blogs, and feeds in a newspaper-style layout. It runs on iOS, macOS, and the web. On iOS and macOS, feeds can sync through Newsify or Feedly, or through iCloud without an account. Reading options include offline access with image caching on Apple platforms, article search, night mode, themes, configurable syncing, and newspaper-style or table-based article lists. The site lists sharing integrations including Evernote, Pocket, Pinterest, and Tumblr. Premium adds full-text extraction, more images, full-text search, priority support, ad removal, and Account Plus, which adds mute filters, faster item delivery, and more feed history. The Free plan costs nothing; Newsify Premium costs $2.99 a month. Web use requires a Newsify account, though a sync-provider account is optional for basic mobile and computer features. The FAQ says feed-provided content and images determine what appears, and there are currently no plans for an Android version.
