Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Fiper at Free against Headlines RSS's $1.99. Fiper also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (50 vs 1). Headlines RSS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Fiper is free to download; Headlines RSS costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fiper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fiper has 50 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Headlines RSS's written reviews are positive against 83% of Fiper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Headlines RSS ships an update every 2 months, Fiper every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
