# Reeder. vs CMRSS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CMRSS at 100% against Reeder.'s 53%. CMRSS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Reeder.'s advantage is ratings volume (916 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reeder. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and CMRSS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CMRSS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reeder. has 916 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Reeder.'s written reviews are positive against 100% of CMRSS's.

Reeder. ships an update every 2 weeks, CMRSS every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
