Since Google Reader announced closure, many of the readers above are new and still either in beta or quickly adding features within the next few days to next few months.

All of these are Web based RSS readers with the exception of NetNewsWire. The readers include Feedly, Digg Reader, Newsblur, AOL Reader, BazQux, Feedbin, Feeder, FeedReader, FeedWrangler, G2Reader, InoReader, NetNewsWire, Ridly and The Older Reader. The top readers listed in the chart happen to be more popular, followed by other feed readers sorted by alphabetical order.

Truth is, just this morning, a paid subscription I had to an online faxing service shut down and did so immediately without warning. Some feel that paid options are less likely to shut down. Google Reader was free and they decided to shut down.

So, this comparison is a supplement to our 12 Google Reader alternatives story released shortly after the Google Reader news was announced.Ī major consideration for some is free versus paid. Since then, many new readers have been built or are in the development phase now. We wanted to give you a concise chart explaining the features, costs and functionality of some of the larger RSS feed readers on the market. Google Reader is turning off their feed on July 1st and by now many of you have already switched to a new RSS reader – but, for those of you who have yet to make the jump, keep reading.
