Both are free to download. Tessera News sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. MyRssFeed asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tessera News holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of MyRssFeed's written reviews are positive against 0% of Tessera News's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
