Best Feedly Alternatives

The closest direct replacement for Feedly's RSS reading experience. Inoreader has powerful rules and filters, keyword monitoring, and a clean interface. The free plan is more generous than Feedly's, and paid plans add automation and integrations.

Best for: Power users who want a traditional RSS reader with advanced filtering. If you loved Feedly's reading experience but want more control, Inoreader is your move.

An open-source RSS reader with a unique "intelligence training" feature — you teach it what you like and dislike, and it learns to surface stories you'll care about. Also shows original site styling and lets you share stories to "blurblogs."

Best for: People who want an open-source, privacy-respecting RSS reader with machine learning-powered filtering. The free plan allows 64 feeds.

A read-it-later app that also handles RSS feeds, newsletters, PDFs, and tweets. The killer feature is deep highlighting and annotation — everything syncs with your note-taking system (Notion, Obsidian, Logseq). No free plan, but the integration depth is unmatched.

Best for: Knowledge workers who want to highlight, annotate, and export what they read. If your reading is part of a research or writing workflow, Reader is hard to beat.

A completely free, open-source RSS reader for Mac and iOS. Native Apple design, fast performance, iCloud sync. No ads, no tracking, no premium tier — just a clean RSS reader that works. One of the oldest RSS apps, originally launched in 2002.

Best for: Apple users who want a fast, free, no-nonsense RSS reader. If you just want RSS without any bells and whistles (and without paying), this is it.

A minimalist, opinionated RSS reader. No AI, no social features, no bloat — just fast, clean RSS reading. Written in Go, so it's extremely fast even with thousands of feeds. Available as a hosted service or self-hostable.

Best for: Developers and minimalists who want a fast, clean RSS reader without distractions. If Feedly feels bloated, Miniflux is the antidote.

A feature-rich, self-hosted RSS reader. Supports extensions, multiple users, OPML import, and the Google Reader API (so third-party apps work with it). Runs on PHP — easy to host on almost any server.

Best for: Self-hosting enthusiasts who want a feature-rich, free RSS reader they fully control. Pairs well with mobile apps like Reeder or FeedMe via the API.

Built as a love letter to the original Google Reader. Simple, social, and nostalgic — it brings back the shared items and social feed that made Google Reader great. No frills, just reading.

Best for: People who miss Google Reader and want a simple, social RSS experience. The free plan supports up to 100 feeds.

A beautifully designed RSS reader that also supports newsletters (gives you a unique email address). Clean, fast, and opinionated. Pairs perfectly with native apps like Reeder. Open source too.

Best for: Design-conscious readers who want RSS + newsletters in a polished, well-maintained app. No free plan, but the $5/month is well worth it.

A free, open-source read-it-later app with RSS support, newsletters, highlighting, and note sync. Acquired by ElevenLabs in 2024, the project's future is uncertain, but the self-hosted version lives on.

Best for: People who want a free, open-source alternative with read-it-later and highlighting features. Note: the hosted service may be discontinued; check current status.

A magazine-style news reader with beautiful visual layouts. Flipboard curates content around topics and lets you flip through stories like a digital magazine. Recently added full RSS support and Mastodon/ActivityPub integration.

Best for: Visual readers who want a beautiful, magazine-like browsing experience. Great for casual discovery but less suited for power users who want to track specific feeds closely.

Not an RSS reader, but many Feedly users switch to Google News for general news consumption. AI-powered topic following, local news, and "Full Coverage" that shows multiple perspectives on a story. Mobile apps are excellent.

Best for: Casual news readers who don't need RSS specifically. If you used Feedly mainly for news (not blogs or niche feeds), Google News might be all you need.
