Feedlane vs Factual Reader

Feedlane is a fast, focused RSS reader for everyone who wants to follow their favorite sites, blogs, and news sources in one calm, clutter-free place — in sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web. Add any feed by URL, bring your subscriptions along as OPML, or discover new sources by category. Feedlane loads instantly from your device and syncs quietly in the background, so your feeds, read state, and bookmarks are always up to date — in the app, in your browser, and in any third-party reader that speaks the Fever or Google Reader API.
