Inoreader Alternative: Rules and Filters Without Overpaying

Inoreader raised its subscription price and locked rules behind the most expensive plan. With Readine, rules are a separate module, OPML import takes minutes, and full-text articles work by default. No ads.

The trigger

Why users leave Inoreader in 2026

Inoreader was one of the few readers where rules and filters worked out of the box. Then Pro nearly doubled in price, and rules moved to the most expensive tier.

The free plan now shows ads where it didn’t before. Articles are auto-marked as read on scroll — not everyone finds that helpful. Folders collapse on every launch and you have to expand them again. Small things, but they add up.

If you need keyword filters and push notifications when rules fire, the cheap Inoreader plan won’t cut it. You end up paying full price for the one feature you actually want.

Migration

How to move your feeds from Inoreader to Readine

Import via API keeps your starred and unread marks. OPML import carries all feeds with the folder structure intact. Either way, a few minutes.

Inoreader rules don’t migrate automatically — import transfers feeds, not filter logic. But setting up rules in Readine takes minutes: pick a feed, enter keywords, choose an action (send a notification, add to favorites, delete, etc.).

Export from Readine is available any time. If you decide to leave, you take your OPML with you.

Comparison

Inoreader vs Readine: rules, sources, pricing

Inoreader bundles rules into an expensive tier. In Readine, rules are a standalone module: buy as many as you need without overpaying for features you don’t use.

Readine goes beyond RSS. Telegram channels, YouTube, Substack, Boosty, Fanbox — all in one feed. No RSS-Bridge, no separate apps. Full text with images by default on every plan.

No ads on any tier — free or paid. Refresh frequency is adjustable; faster refresh is available as a separate module.

More on monitoring: keyword rules and filters. Feedly comparison: Feedly alternative. On offline reading: offline reading and sync.
