Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: feeder.co at 4.7 against Alerts for Reddit's 4.2. feeder.co also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 178). Alerts for Reddit's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 42%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. feeder.co sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Alerts for Reddit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

feeder.co holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: feeder.co has 1K ratings behind it against 178, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of feeder.co's written reviews are positive against 68% of Alerts for Reddit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

feeder.co ships an update every 2 months, Alerts for Reddit every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
