MaxFeeder is a fast, quiet news reader. Add the sites you actually read, arrange them the way you think, and see everything new in one place — no algorithm, no infinite scroll, no ads. No account needed to start reading. BUILT AROUND HOW YOU READ Group feeds into columns, and columns into tabs — Morning, Tech, Sports, whatever fits. Unread counts show what's new at a glance, show only unread stories when you want a clean list, and Mark All Read clears a column when you're done with it. READ WITHOUT LEAVING Tap any story for a clean reader view: the article text and images, without pop-ups or cookie banners. Keep things with bookmarks, or park them in Read Later. MORE THAN RSS Follow YouTube channels, Reddit, Medium, and Bluesky alongside ordinary feeds. New to RSS? Start from the suggested feeds and adjust from there. KEEP THE HABIT Reading stats, a daily goal, and a streak — a gentle nudge, not a leaderboard. FREE Up to 6 feeds, stored on your device. No account required. MAXFEEDER PRO — $12 FOR ONE YEAR Unlimited feeds, search across the last 30 days of your feeds, sync across your devices and the web, and your Bluesky Following timeline.

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: feeeed at none against MaxFeeder's 1. feeeed also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and chart position (#155 vs unranked). MaxFeeder's advantage is update cadence (daily vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
