Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: FLAT RSS Reader at Free against RSSolved's $0.99. FLAT RSS Reader also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). RSSolved's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
