The short version

  • Only Reeder has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: EIN Presswire sold as prepaid release credits that expire 365 days after purchase, so unused releases are lost rather than carried; Reeder the free tier caps at ten feeds, which is restrictive for anyone following more than a handful of sources.
  • They diverge on capability: EIN Presswire covers Press release distribution, Reeder covers Multi-source feeds.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

EIN Presswire

  • Sold as prepaid release credits that expire 365 days after purchase, so unused releases are lost rather than carried
  • A single release is $149, and the lower per release rates require buying 5 or 15 up front
  • Word limits are tied to the package, from 700 words on Basic to 2,500 on Corporate
  • Geographic and industry targeting is rationed by package, at 2 country and 5 industry targets on Pro+

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.
