# tiny Reader RSS vs Nextnews

The clearest difference is update cadence: Nextnews at every 4 days against tiny Reader RSS's every 4 months. Nextnews also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1). tiny Reader RSS's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 69%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. tiny Reader RSS sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Nextnews sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nextnews holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 46 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of tiny Reader RSS's written reviews are positive against 69% of Nextnews's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

tiny Reader RSS ships an update every 4 months, Nextnews every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
