# Wire vs Feed Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: Wire at 4.4 against Feed Viewer's 3.0. Wire also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). Feed Viewer's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wire sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Feed Viewer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wire holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wire has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Wire's written reviews are positive against 0% of Feed Viewer's.

Wire ships an update fortnightly, Feed Viewer every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
