# feeder.co vs Alerts for Reddit

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.

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.

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.

feeder.co ships an update every 2 months, Alerts for Reddit every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
