# Feedibus vs Feedster

The clearest difference is rating: Feedibus at 3.7 against Feedster's 2.7. Feedibus also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 3). Feedster's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 39%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Feedibus costs $3.99 and Feedster $1.99 up front. Feedibus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Feedster sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Feedibus holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Feedibus's written reviews are positive against 67% of Feedster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Feedibus ships an update every 5 weeks, Feedster every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
