Strengths and weaknesses
Inoreader
- Generous free plan with 150 feeds

- Busier screens than simpler readers
- AI Intelligence features are a paid add-on

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.
