Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Prezly

  • The Essential plan at 100 euros a month covers one site, one user and 5,000 contacts, and carries Prezly branding
  • Removing the branding and getting white-label sites requires Standard at 250 euros a month
  • Standard still allows only two users
  • The uptime SLA is Enterprise only
  • Advertised prices are the annual rates, with a 20 percent premium for paying monthly

Reeder

  • The free tier caps at ten feeds, which is restrictive for anyone following more than a handful of sources.
  • Having two separately named and priced apps, Reeder and Reeder Classic, has confused users trying to work out which one to buy.
  • It depends on continued access to YouTube, Reddit and Mastodon APIs for its social feed features, any of which could change terms and reduce functionality.
  • It is Apple platforms only, with no Windows, Android or web version.
  • The subscription, while cheap, is still an ongoing cost compared with NetNewsWire, which does the core RSS job for free indefinitely.
