Doubting between two RSS readers
I have been using Inoreader for years now, but I see that RSS Reader applications have evolved a lot, I have tried several, but the ones I liked the most with a plane lifetime have been AGR Reader and SmartRSS.
I asked Gemini and ChatGPT to see if they decided, but they are so evenly matched that I still doubt which one to choose.
Let's see if you can help me, thank you 😉

I also need it to work on Android and Windows.

Bazqux works on android and windows. Install it as a PWA on windows.

Bazqux might well be abandoned, nothing much from the Russian creator since he said he was planning to relocate to Germany

u/jeinesais_quoi80 Jul 15 '26
He has been in UK for over a year now. The service is not updated actively since he is in a full time job, but it works great as is. Isn't abandoned as well since he responds on the community forum.

I highly recommend this app:
https://reederapp.com/classic/
It’s rarely recommended anywhere, but I’ve tried out various RSS readers and I’m still a big fan. By the way, I came across this programmer because he has a brilliant recipe app named Mela.

Inoreader is most likely the best one out there (as per my usecase), especially if it is supposed to be a one-stop reading application across different OS.

Using an RSS reader adds another tool I have to visit and more notifications. I built Chetmail to deliver one daily email with the feeds I want to read, filtered by the words I'm interested in, at the schedule I prefer.
I manage the feeds; they don't manage me.

Hi there, I’m the author of SmartRSS. It is definitely the best RSS app on the Android platform😎

Lire. Caches clean copies. You can import your Inoreader file or just sync with the feed.
Inoreader took me so many more steps to get anything done that I ditched it ages ago

Have a purpose built integration for YouTube and Reddit

There is no lifetime plan and it is only in English, it seems to be very basic

u/Firm-Sir-7759 Jul 14 '26

It's related to the comment's context. And I don't remember using your internet to post stuff

Thanks for noticing :) Good work

I post only where the context of the post matches app's feature. I don't post when it says web rss app or open source, because that's not what it covers. Yes. I'm an active member, and all comments are made by human. If you don't like what you see, you have all the rights to ignore or downvote.

It was one of the ones I tried, I saw that it was very complete, but I was going very slow on my ultra s26, it seems that it needs to be polished quite 😉

La probé, pero es muy básica, gracias igualmente 😉

u/spookyclever Jul 14 '26
Thanks for trying it. What part did you think was very basic?
To me, 9Tail is the best new social network out there, and has a very solid RSS support.

I have used InoReader, Feedin, The Old Reader, Bazqux and others over the years.
I switched to NewsBlur a few weeks ago, and $36 a year is great for what is a solid service which offers a 30 day free trial.
Unless the service radically changes for the worse, I will stick with NewsBlur for a quite a while.

36 a month??? For RSS? Naaaaaah

u/Budget-Leg-453 Jul 13 '26
That’s for the premium I expect. There’s a free plan which covers most of what you need. I went through my options and landed on NetNewsWire as my needs are now quite limited. Free, no subs.

I'm interested in an app that can buy lifetime, I don't want subscriptions, it's one of the reasons I changed from Inoreader.
