Who each one suits
- Browsing news and magazine-style stories by topic rather than by feed
- Curating articles into Magazines to share with a group or the public
- Following Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky accounts next to news sources
Inoreader
- Heavy RSS users who want rules and filters to thin out their feeds
- Monitoring brands, topics or keywords across news and social feeds
- Teams that share curated feeds and articles through channels
Worth knowing
- Flipboard is supported by advertising; the Google Play listing notes that the app contains ads.
- No paid tier is listed, so there is no option to pay for an ad-free version.
- No desktop app is listed: the App Store shows iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, with the website for computers.
Inoreader
- The free plan stops at 150 RSS feeds and leaves out rules, filters, newsletters and offline reading.
- Pro caps several features, such as 20 web feeds, 20 newsletter feeds and 30 monitoring feeds.
- Intelligence reports and email digests are not part of Pro; they are listed with the team plans.
- There is no desktop app: Inoreader runs in a browser, in iOS and Android apps, and has a browser extension.
Key features

- Follow topics, Magazines and people to build a feed that updates in real time, then tune it by asking for more or less of a kind of story or muting sources.
- Magazines
- Save stories into your own Magazines for a project, a hobby or later reading. A Magazine can be made public, and Group Magazines let others contribute.
- Fediverse following
- Follow people who post on Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky so their stories appear alongside what you follow on Flipboard.
