Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Feedwire at 5.0 against Folo's 4.1. Folo's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Folo sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Feedwire sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Feedwire holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Folo has 54 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Folo ships an update fortnightly, Feedwire every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
