Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RSS at 100% against feeder.co's 42%. RSS also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). feeder.co's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and ratings volume (1K vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

feeder.co is free to download; RSS costs $4.99 up front. feeder.co sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and RSS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: feeder.co has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of feeder.co's written reviews are positive against 100% of RSS'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, RSS weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
