The report card
Best for feeds, newsletters and YouTube in one paid reader
Feedbin is a paid RSS reader that puts feeds, email newsletters, podcasts and YouTube channels in one list in date order, with no ads or tracking, on one plan at $7 a month or $70 a year. There's no free plan after the 30-day trial, its own apps cover only web, iPhone and iPad, it keeps just the 400 latest articles per feed, and many rivals let you read for nothing.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $70 a year works out at $5.83 a month, towards the dear end of this category, where the middle is $3.33; pay by the month and it's $7. For that you get one plan with everything, with no tiers or add-ons. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan at all. You get 30 days with no credit card asked for, and then it's $7 a month or you stop. |
| Features | B | It covers the whole job: feeds, newsletters at your own Feedbin address, podcasts and YouTube channels in one list, full text pulled in for partial feeds, rules that star, mark read or notify, saved searches, and a diff view when an article is edited. Inoreader and Feedly do much the same. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and a reader is only as useful as the feed list you build, which is your job: subscriptions to gather, actions to write, searches to save. Newsletters arrive at a Feedbin address instead of your inbox. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Feedbin's own apps cover the web, iPhone and iPad, and its API brings in Reeder, NetNewsWire, Unread, ReadKit and others for Mac and Android. Plenty of choice, none of it Feedbin's own. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Feedbin is for
- Fits if you want RSS, newsletters, podcasts and YouTube in one reader on one plan
- Works for people using Reeder, NetNewsWire or Unread who need a service to sync through
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a free reader, as there's only a 30-day trial and then $7 a month
- Skip it if you want Feedbin's own app on Mac or Android, where you'll need a third-party one
- Too light for keeping an archive, since it stores the 400 most recent articles per feed
- Pricey if you set it against this category's $3.33 middle, as $70 a year works out at $5.83 a month
- Watch out: the code is open source, but Feedbin doesn't recommend running it yourself and gives no install help
Good to know
Good for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
A read-later list at its plainest is saved links with tags.
You could make the core of Feedbin for yourself: rSS reader. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $70 a year. Feedbin is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- RSS reader: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Reeder, NetNewsWire and Unread among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Feedbin’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
