Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lecto at 50% against Quick RSS's 0%. Lecto also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Quick RSS's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and monetization model 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. Quick RSS sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Lecto asks for nothing beyond the download.
Quick RSS holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Quick RSS's written reviews are positive against 50% of Lecto's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Quick RSS ships an update every 3 days, Lecto fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
