Inoreader

Readwise

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.

Readwise

There is no free plan: a paid subscription is needed once the 30-day trial ends.
Readwise Lite leaves out tags and notes, exports to note-taking apps, and the Reader app.
Reader is not sold on its own; it comes with the full Readwise plan at $9.99 per month billed annually.
Desktop apps are listed for Mac and Windows only, with no Linux app mentioned.

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.

Readwise

Daily Review: A daily selection of past highlights, delivered by email and in the app and timed with spaced repetition so older passages come back around.
Highlight import: Syncs highlights from Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Instapaper and other listed sources, and captures passages from paper books by photographing the page.
Export to note-taking apps: Sends highlights to Notion, Obsidian, Evernote, Roam, Logseq and other listed apps, or to Markdown and CSV. Exports are part of the full plan.
Reader: A read-later app for web articles, RSS feeds, email newsletters, PDFs, EPUBs, YouTube transcripts and X threads, with highlighting, full-text search and text to speech.
Ghostreader and chat with highlights: Ghostreader answers questions about a document, defines terms and simplifies passages. Chat answers show the highlights they were drawn from.
MCP server, CLI and API: An MCP server connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP-compatible assistant to the library, alongside a command-line tool and an API.
