Free alternatives to Feedly
2 free programs that can replace Feedly, each pairing checked by Radar's AI reviewer or by Radar.
Feedly is an online news reader. It gathers articles from the sites and blogs you follow into one place, so you can keep up with a field without visiting each page. Journalists, researchers, marketers and teams that monitor topics use it. It is a web service with an account and paid plans, which means your subscriptions, folders and saved articles are stored there.
Before switching, check the following:
- Export your list of followed sites as an OPML file first. It is the usual way to move subscriptions, but saved articles, tags and boards may not come along.
- Whether the new reader has apps for your phone and keeps your reading position in sync between devices.
- Whether you rely on filters, keyword alerts, team sharing or links to other apps that you would need to rebuild.
- Whether you are comfortable running or setting up part of it yourself, in case that is what the replacement asks of you.
