# feeder.co vs ReadKit

The clearest difference is rating: feeder.co at 4.7 against ReadKit's 4.4. feeder.co also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 124). ReadKit's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (56% 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 ReadKit sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

feeder.co holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: feeder.co has 1K ratings behind it against 124, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of feeder.co's written reviews are positive against 56% of ReadKit'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, ReadKit every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
