# Feedly vs follow.it

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: follow.it at none against Feedly's 3. follow.it also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Feedly's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 1) and chart position (#111 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Feedly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. follow.it asks for nothing beyond the download.

follow.it holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Feedly has 26K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
