# X vs Feedbin

The clearest difference is ads: Feedbin at none against X's shown. X's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. X sells 25 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per month and Feedbin sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

X holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 11M ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of X's written reviews are positive against 46% of Feedbin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

X ships an update every 3 days, Feedbin every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
