Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: RSS Wear at Free against Feedibus's $3.99. RSS Wear also leads on iOS requirement (7.1 vs 26.0). Feedibus's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 2.8) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Feedibus holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 12 respectively.
