Feedly vs Miniflux
Thinking of swapping Feedly for the open-source Miniflux? Here’s the honest trade-off.
9.4k Go Apache-2.0 yesterday
What you give up vs Feedly
- Deliberately minimal UI with no customizable themes or layout options
- No native mobile apps; third-party apps required via API
- No AI or ML-based article recommendations or smart prioritization
- Requires PostgreSQL — cannot run on SQLite for simpler setups
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Miniflux 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 (Apache-2.0).
