# feeder.co vs RSS

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.

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.

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.

feeder.co ships an update every 2 months, RSS weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
