Free alternatives to Inoreader
2 free programs that can replace Inoreader, each pairing checked by Radar's AI reviewer or by Radar.
Inoreader is an online feed reader. It collects new posts from the blogs, news sites and newsletters you follow, and lets you sort them with folders, tags, filters and saved searches. Researchers, journalists, marketers and anyone who tracks a topic closely use it. It is a web service with an account and paid plans, so your subscriptions, rules and saved articles are stored there.
Before switching, check these points:
- Export your subscriptions as an OPML file. It carries the list of feeds and folders, but rules, tags and saved articles may be left behind.
- Write down the filters, rules and saved searches you rely on, so you can rebuild them.
- Whether the new reader has apps for your phone and keeps what you have read in sync across devices.
- Whether you read newsletters or follow social media accounts through it, and whether the replacement handles those sources.
- Whether you are willing to install or look after part of the setup yourself.
