What you give up vs Feedly
- No AI-driven article recommendations or smart filtering like Feedly Pro
- Read-later queue is basic; no article annotation or highlight export
- Mobile experience relies on third-party apps via the API rather than first-party apps
- Newsletter-to-RSS and email digest features absent
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host FreshRSS on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Feedly: pro fees for basic features and source limits).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
