# Reeder. vs Queue

Reeder. and Queue both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Queue's written reviews are positive against 53% of Reeder.'s. Queue also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Reeder.'s advantage is ratings volume (863 vs 86) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reeder. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per month and Queue sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.3 for Reeder. against 4.3 for Queue. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reeder. has 863 ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of Reeder.'s written reviews are positive against 68% of Queue's.

Reeder. ships an update every 3 weeks, Queue every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
