Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RSSBud at 4.6 against AdGuard Home's 4.1. RSSBud also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 9). AdGuard Home's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RSSBud holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of RSSBud's written reviews are positive against 57% of AdGuard Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RSSBud ships an update every 6 weeks, AdGuard Home every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
