# CloudNews vs Simple RSS Push+ · Feed Reader

The clearest difference is rating: Simple RSS Push+ · Feed Reader at 5.0 against CloudNews's 3.8. Simple RSS Push+ · Feed Reader also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). CloudNews's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $9.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, monetization model, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

CloudNews costs $1.99 and Simple RSS Push+ · Feed Reader $9.99 up front. Simple RSS Push+ · Feed Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CloudNews asks for nothing beyond the download.

Simple RSS Push+ · Feed Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudNews has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of CloudNews's written reviews are positive against 36% of Simple RSS Push+ · Feed Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudNews ships an update every 5 weeks, Simple RSS Push+ · Feed Reader weekly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
