Where Feedbin is the better choice

Feedbin also suits people who want Mastodon accounts and podcasts in the same place as their feeds. It follows Mastodon, its podcasts play in the Airshow app, and it shows you how an article changed after it was published.
Where Inoreader does more
A free plan and an Android app
You can use Inoreader for free with up to 150 feeds for as long as you like. It has its own Android app as well as an iPhone and iPad app, and with Pro both apps download your feeds for offline reading.
Websites without RSS
With a web feed, you can follow a page that publishes no feed by clicking the list of items you want. You can also watch one part of a page, such as a price, and get an article each time it changes.
AI on the articles you read
Inoreader Intelligence summarizes any article, answers a question about it and lists the companies, products and people it mentions. You choose the AI platform, and the AI never decides what you see.
News monitoring beyond your feeds
With Pro, you can search all public feeds that Inoreader indexes and turn a search into a monitoring feed. Every new article that matches your keywords then arrives on its own, and a rule can alert you or post it to Slack.
Reading as a team
Inoreader for Teams gives a team shared folders, filters and channels for discussing articles, starting at $44.99 a month for up to 3 members.
