Does it deserve #5?

Is Inoreader worth it?

For most people, yes. Inoreader scores 8.5/10 and ranks #5 in Reading & News. It's best for researchers and news fans who want to filter and automate lots of feeds. Skip it if you just want a simple, calm reader for a few favorite blogs. Price: Free for 150 feeds; Pro is $7.50 a month billed yearly, or $9.99 monthly.

The verdict

Inoreader is the RSS reader for people who want control. Follow sites, YouTube channels and podcasts in one place, add newsletters and social feeds on Pro, then let rules and filters sort, tag and trim the flood. The free plan covers 150 feeds, and Pro adds monitoring feeds and offline reading. It's busier than Feedly, and its AI Intelligence features cost extra, but it links very little data to you.

  • 150 free feeds
  • Rules and filters that automate reading
  • Monitoring feeds for keywords
  • Newsletters and social feeds on Pro
  • Text-to-speech and translation
