Feedbin

Feeds, newsletters, podcasts and YouTube

Follow any website with RSS, receive newsletters at a personal Feedbin email address, listen to podcasts, and follow YouTube channels and playlists in order.

Full-text extraction

When a feed offers only partial content, Feedbin can pull in the full article so reading continues without leaving the reader.

Actions

Rules that automatically star an incoming article, mark it as read or send a push notification, based on what you want to catch.

Search and saved searches

A search syntax for finding articles across feeds, with frequent searches saved so their results stay one click away.

Updated articles

Articles are refreshed when the original changes, and a difference view shows what was altered.

Sync with third-party apps

An API lets apps such as Reeder, NetNewsWire, Unread and ReadKit sync with a Feedbin account on iOS, Mac and Android.

Feeder

Sources beyond RSS

Every plan follows RSS feeds, YouTube, Reddit, Mastodon, Bluesky, Google Alerts, Google News and email newsletters. Telegram, Google Calendar and RSS built from HTML pages start on Plus.

Tiered update speed

Feeds are checked as often as every 30 minutes on Free, every 5 minutes on Plus and every minute on Professional and Enterprise.

Filters, rules and notifications

Keyword and time-of-day filters decide which posts appear and which trigger an alert. Rules, filters and email notifications start on Plus; mobile push notifications are on every plan.

AI summaries and AI Feeds

Feeder summarizes an article with its sources cited and builds a feed for a site that publishes none. Free allows 2 summaries a day and 3 AI feeds, and each higher plan raises both limits.

Browser extension

Extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Yandex put feeds behind a toolbar icon that shows the unread count and opens new posts directly.

Team sharing and integrations

Professional adds team members with permissions, shared feeds and folders, public dashboards, and posting to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord and Telegram, along with webhooks and Zapier.
