# Feedibus vs ReadKit

The clearest difference is price: ReadKit at Free against Feedibus's $3.99. ReadKit also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and review sentiment (56% vs 39%). Feedibus's advantage is chart position (#64 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReadKit is free to download; Feedibus costs $3.99 up front. Feedibus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ReadKit sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReadKit holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReadKit has 124 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Feedibus's written reviews are positive against 56% of ReadKit's.

Feedibus ships an update every 5 weeks, ReadKit every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
