# Feedly vs Newsify

Feedly and Newsify both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Newsify's written reviews are positive against 41% of Feedly's. Feedly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#122 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Feedly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Newsify sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Feedly against 4.6 for Newsify. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Feedly has 26K ratings behind it against 4.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of Feedly's written reviews are positive against 77% of Newsify's.

Feedly ships an update every 5 weeks, Newsify every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
