Inoreader

NewsBlur

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.

NewsBlur

The free plan is limited to 64 sites.
Search, River of News and text view start at Premium; web feeds, Ask AI and the archive need Premium Archive.
Premium and Premium Archive are priced per year only, while Premium Pro is priced per month.
Native apps are listed for iOS and Android; desktop use is through the web app or third-party clients.

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.

NewsBlur

Intelligence Training: Mark authors, tags and title keywords with a thumbs up or down to highlight matching stories or fade them out. Full-text training needs Premium Archive.
Web Feeds: On Premium Archive, NewsBlur builds a feed for a web page that has no RSS by monitoring the page for changes.
Search and story archive: Premium adds full-text search across subscriptions. Premium Archive keeps every story indefinitely and back-fills the history of newly added feeds.
Ask AI and Daily Briefing: Premium Archive can ask questions about a story using Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok, and receives an AI-written daily summary of top stories.
Email newsletters: Forward newsletters to a personal NewsBlur email address and they appear as a feed that can be trained, tagged and searched like any other.
Open source and open API: The server and both mobile apps are open source on GitHub, and the API supports third-party clients such as Reeder, ReadKit and Unread.
