Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyRssFeed at none against Boom Feed's 1. MyRssFeed also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 12 months). Boom Feed's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
