Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Newsbin at Free against TinyFeeds's $2.99. Newsbin also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). TinyFeeds's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
