How we grade them
| 2.4GPADaily.devFair | 2.6GPAFeedlyGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPlus is $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year, about $7.50 a month. Reading apps start at $2.50 for the cheaper quarter and $7.99 for the dearest tenth, so this sits at the top for ad removal and custom feeds. | DPro is $6.99 a month billed annually, twice this category's $3.33 middle, and that's the price of search, notes and highlights. The AI, newsletters and RSS Builder sit on Pro+ at $12.37 a month, yearly billing only, which is miles past the $7.99 where the dearest tenth starts. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree with no trial limit and no account needed to start reading: the feed, Squads, discussions, AI search, bookmarks and the apps. It carries ads, and the free API allowance is 200 requests a month. | BA free plan one person could really live on: 100 feeds on the web and in the phone apps, which is more sources than most of us read. The pinch is 3 folders to sort them into, and no search, notes or highlights until you pay. |
| Features | CRanked feed, Squads, AI search, bookmarks and an API. But it's a curated feed of its own sources, and custom feeds, keyword filters and bookmark folders are Plus only. | BIt covers the whole job: feeds from news sites, blogs, YouTube, podcasts and Reddit, boards for saving, notes and highlights, search, and on Pro+ AI Feeds that track a topic across the web, mute filters, deduplication and newsletters. Inoreader covers the same ground. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but there is nothing to set up: open it, pick topics and read. The feed adapts to what you read. | B4.64 from about 26,000 App Store ratings, a shade under the 4.7 our top mark wants, but from a big crowd. Follow a few sources, drop them in folders, read. There's nothing more to it until you start on the AI filters. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, a browser extension, iOS and Android, plus a public API and MCP server. No desktop app, and the pricing page names only Chrome and Edge for the extension. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Chrome and Firefox extensions, saving to Evernote and OneNote and sharing to LinkedIn, Buffer, IFTTT and Zapier. No desktop app, and the API, Slack and Microsoft Teams are Enterprise only. |
| Best for | a ranked news feed for software developers | following lots of news sources with AI filtering |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
