Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fiper at none against RSS News Ticker's 3. Fiper also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (50 vs 13). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RSS News Ticker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Fiper asks for nothing beyond the download.
Fiper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 50 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Fiper's written reviews are positive against 88% of RSS News Ticker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
