Reeder pricing
Reeder publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 1 September 2026, Reeder pricing is free, then $10/year across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Reeder plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reeder (free) | Free | 2 | Entry tier |
| Reeder Classic | Free | 3 | +$0/one-time, 3 more features |
| Reeder Plus | $1/month | 3 | +$1/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Reeder feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Multi-source feeds
- Gesture-based triage
- Shared feeds
- Cross-device sync
- Reeder Classic option
- Custom themes
People bring Reeder in for a reader who wants youtube, reddit and mastodon alongside rss feeds in one triage-focused app, someone with more than ten feeds who is comfortable with a low cost subscription rather than a hard cap, a long time reeder user who prefers the older interface and wants to avoid a subscription by using reeder classic instead, a user who wants shared curated feed lists with friends or colleagues, a plus-only feature. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Reeder are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Reeder
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $1/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Reeder runs on mac, ios, and is published by Silvio Rizzi of Switzerland. The full record is on the Reeder review, and the rest of the category is under best news tools.
