I would like to start using RSS feeds but every client I’ve searched up has a subscription method of payment. Are there any RSS clients that don’t do this?
I use feeder (and apparently there’s more than one rss app called feeder), and it’s FOSS. I like it a lot. The one feature it doesn’t have is any filtering. I wish I could filter some feeds. My local news seems to be like 50% sports, and a lot of sites these days have half of the “articles” they put out just containing a list of Amazon affiliate links. It also doesn’t do audio of video, but I don’t use it for that
I am using Feeder by NoNonsenseApps on Android. Open source and no login required (or even possible).
Thunderbird has RSS feature AFAIK. KDE’s KMail as well.
NetNewsWire has done me well on all my Apple things:
Reeder for Apple platforms is pay-once and lets you sync using your iCloud account
You can self host with nextcloud. There are also client specific apps as well.
I use freshrss with fivefilters full text rss add on but this is self hosted
If you’re on Android, you can look on F-Droid. If you’re on Linux, you can look on Flathub, if your DE doesn’t already include one by default. Thunderbird also has RSS support to my knowledge.
Feedly has an ad-sipported option.
omnivore.app is wicked
