FOLLOW YOUR SOURCES Add unlimited feeds by pasting a site or feed URL. Discover feeds from websites, YouTube channels, subreddits, and Mastodon profiles. Start with suggested sources or import your subscriptions from an OPML file. Organize feeds into folders and keep track of unread stories.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Leaflet at none against TodayRSS's 3. Leaflet also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
