# Feedster vs Reeder.

The clearest difference is price: Reeder. at Free against Feedster's $1.99. Reeder. also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (879 vs 3). Feedster's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 53%) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Reeder. holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reeder. has 879 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Feedster's written reviews are positive against 53% of Reeder.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Feedster ships an update every 2 weeks, Reeder. every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
