- API access and SSO/SAML login are listed for Enterprise only, and there is no desktop app outside the browser.
- Flipboard is supported by advertising; the Google Play listing notes that the app contains ads.

Key features
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.
