Worth knowing

Inoreader

  • 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.

Miniflux

  • There are no native apps: Miniflux runs in a browser and relies on third-party mobile apps through the Fever or Google Reader API.
  • Self-hosting requires PostgreSQL, the only database Miniflux works with.
  • On the hosted version, read articles are removed after 30 days and unread ones after 60; only starred articles are kept.
  • The hosted version has no password reset feature, and accounts are deleted 30 days after a subscription lapses.

Key features

Inoreader

Feeds beyond RSS
Alongside RSS feeds, Pro can follow email newsletters, websites without RSS, YouTube subscriptions, and public Facebook, Telegram and Bluesky feeds.
Monitoring feeds
Track people, brands, companies and keywords across publicly available sources in 30 languages. Pro includes 30 monitoring feeds.
Rules and filters
Rules act on incoming articles, for example by assigning tags or sending push notifications. Filters hide unwanted or duplicate items. Both need Pro.
Inoreader Intelligence
Generative AI summarizes articles, answers questions and runs custom prompts, with a choice of OpenAI, Mistral AI or Anthropic models. Starts on Pro.
Read later and annotations
Save articles and web pages to a read-later list on any plan. Pro adds highlighting and notes, which can be exported to Readwise.
Team channels and dashboards
Team plans share folders, tags, filters and dashboards, and team channels can post to Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Miniflux

Feed reading
Reads Atom, RSS and JSON Feed, imports and exports OPML, handles podcast, video and image enclosures, and plays YouTube videos inside the reader.
Original article fetching
When a feed shows only a summary, Miniflux can fetch the original page and extract the article with a local Readability parser. Custom scraper and rewrite rules are supported.
Privacy protections
Removes pixel trackers and tracking parameters from URLs, proxies media, blocks external JavaScript and sends no referrer. There is no telemetry or advertising.
Keyboard-driven interface
A minimal, responsive web interface with a wide range of keyboard shortcuts, optional touch gestures, light, dark and system themes, and custom stylesheets.
Categories, search and filters
Articles are organized with categories and bookmarks, searched in full text through Postgres, included or excluded by regex filters, and can be shared publicly one at a time.
Integrations and API
Saves articles to more than 25 services, sends webhooks, offers a REST API with Go and Python clients, and works with mobile apps that support the Fever or Google Reader API.
