# RSSReader vs Cupfeed

The clearest difference is rating: Cupfeed at 4.0 against RSSReader's 1.0. Cupfeed also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). RSSReader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cupfeed sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. RSSReader asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cupfeed holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of RSSReader's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cupfeed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RSSReader ships an update every 3 months, Cupfeed every 6 days. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
