Which one is for you
Pick Daily.dev if
- Fits if you write software and want one place to skim tech news
- Works for people who like reading the comment thread attached to an article
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to subscribe to your own RSS feeds, as the pages read don't describe that
- Pricey if you want ads gone: Plus is $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year
- Tight if you want custom feeds, keyword filters or bookmark folders, all Plus only
- Too light for general news, as the content is aimed at developers
Pick Inoreader if
- Fits if you follow a lot of RSS and want rules and filters to thin the stream
- Works for people who watch a brand, topic or keyword across news and social feeds
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you only want newsletters in your reader, since that takes Pro at $7.50 a month
- Tight if you're staying free: 150 feeds, no rules, filters or offline reading, and translation stops at 10 articles a day
- Tight if you lean on web feeds or newsletters, as Pro caps both at 20 and monitoring feeds at 30
- Skip it if you want a desktop app, because it's browser, iPhone and Android only
- Watch out: the site says the trial is 15 days in one place and 14 in another, and team plans start at $44.99 a month

|---|---|---|
| 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 $7.50 a month billed annually, $9.99 monthly, which is past the $6.99 dear quarter here and more than double the $3.33 middle. And Pro is where the point of Inoreader lives: rules, filters, newsletters, monitoring feeds, offline reading and the API. Team plans start at $44.99 a month. |
| 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: 150 RSS feeds, folders, tags, search in your feeds, a read-later list and no ads. The caps show in the extras, with translation stopping at 10 articles a day and text to speech at 5, and no rules or filters. |
| 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. | AIt covers the whole job and does what its rivals don't: RSS, newsletters, podcasts, YouTube and public Facebook, Telegram and Bluesky feeds in one place, rules acting on articles as they land, filters killing duplicates, monitoring feeds tracking keywords in 30 languages, and AI summaries. |
| 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. | A4.7 from about 4,400 App Store ratings, which is our top band. Reading feeds takes no setting up, and the rules, filters and monitoring feeds stay out of the way until you want them. |
| 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, Android and a browser extension, wired into Zapier, IFTTT, n8n, Evernote, OneNote, Instapaper, Readwise and Slack, with API access on Pro. There's no desktop app, so on a computer it's the browser. |

Worth knowing
Daily.dev

- The free plan shows ads. Ad-free use needs Plus at $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year.
- Custom feeds, keyword filters, bookmark folders and auto-translate are Plus-only.
- Content is aimed at software developers, so it is a narrow fit for general news.
Inoreader

- Pro caps several features, such as 20 web feeds, 20 newsletter feeds and 30 monitoring feeds.

- There is no desktop app: Inoreader runs in a browser, in iOS and Android apps, and has a browser extension.

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.
