# Fiper vs RSS

The clearest difference is price: Fiper at Free against RSS's $4.99. Fiper also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (50 vs 2). RSS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Fiper is free to download; RSS costs $4.99 up front. RSS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Fiper asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Fiper against 4.5 for RSS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fiper has 50 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Fiper's written reviews are positive against 100% of RSS's.

Fiper ships an update every 3 weeks, RSS weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
