Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FeedLyst at 5.0 against Ziner's 3.7. Ziner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (38 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence 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
Both are free to download. Ziner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and FeedLyst sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FeedLyst holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ziner has 38 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 66% and 67% positive.
Ziner ships an update every 11 days, FeedLyst every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
