Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FeedFlow at Free against NewsFlash RSS's $0.99. FeedFlow also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (79% vs 67%). NewsFlash RSS's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#87 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

FeedFlow is free to download; NewsFlash RSS costs $0.99 up front. NewsFlash RSS sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and FeedFlow sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NewsFlash RSS holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FeedFlow has 39 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of NewsFlash RSS's written reviews are positive against 79% of FeedFlow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NewsFlash RSS ships an update monthly, FeedFlow every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
