Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NewsNinja at Free against Feedster's $1.99. NewsNinja also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (41 vs 3). Feedster's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 45%) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
NewsNinja is free to download; Feedster costs $1.99 up front. Feedster sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and NewsNinja sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.79 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NewsNinja holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NewsNinja has 41 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 45% of NewsNinja's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
