Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Feedly at none against MSN's shown. Feedly also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). MSN's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Feedly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and MSN sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $20.00 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 MSN. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 26K and 124K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of Feedly's written reviews are positive against 38% of MSN's.
Feedly ships an update every 5 weeks, MSN every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
