Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RSSBud at none against LumeTale's 3. RSSBud also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). LumeTale's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
