# ReadKit vs FeedFlow

The clearest difference is monetization model: FeedFlow at free against ReadKit's freemium. FeedFlow also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 57%). ReadKit's advantage is ratings volume (124 vs 39) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ReadKit sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and FeedFlow sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for ReadKit against 4.5 for FeedFlow. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 124 and 39 respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of ReadKit's written reviews are positive against 79% of FeedFlow's.

ReadKit ships an update every 2 weeks, FeedFlow every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
