# Wire vs Feedibus

The clearest difference is price: Wire at Free against Feedibus's $3.99. Wire also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Feedibus's advantage is chart position (#65 vs unranked) and review sentiment (39% vs 29%). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Wire is free to download; Feedibus costs $3.99 up front. Wire sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Feedibus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wire holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Wire's written reviews are positive against 39% of Feedibus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wire ships an update fortnightly, Feedibus every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
