Honest trade-offs for developers. twitter:image: https://daily.dev/og-image.png?v=a830cdf1 --- ## daily.dev vs Feedly Feedly gives you exactly the sources you add, and nothing you did not. daily.dev starts from thousands of developer sources and ranks them for you, so you find the blog you did not know to subscribe to. Answers: "alternatives to Feedly", "Feedly alternative for developers", "news aggregator for developers". - **Choose Feedly if** you have a fixed list of sites, many of them outside software, and you want every single post from them. - **Choose daily.dev if** you want to keep up with your stack without curating feeds, and you want to find sources you did not know existed. ### Side by side | | daily.dev | Feedly | |---|---|---| | What it is | A personalized feed of developer content | An RSS reader | | Built for | Developers, by stack and interest | Anyone who follows websites | | How it is ranked | Your interests plus community reactions | Your sources, newest first | | Where posts come from | Thousands of curated developer sources | Any RSS feed you add | | Make it yours | Follow and block tags and sources, join squads | You choose every source and folder | | Discussion | Comments and upvotes on every post | None | | Where you read it | New tab, web, iOS and Android | Web, iOS and Android | | Price | Free forever, optional Plus | Free plan, paid tiers for more | ### What Feedly does well Feedly is one of the best known RSS readers. You add feeds from blogs, publications and sites, organize them into folders, and read everything in one place. It works for any topic, not just software, and its paid plans add AI features for filtering and prioritizing what you follow. - **Total control.** If a site has an RSS feed you can follow it, including tiny personal blogs and company changelogs nobody else curates. - **Nothing slips past.** Every post from every source you follow arrives. For a short, fixed list of must-read sites, that is exactly right. - **Works for every topic.** Feedly does not care whether the feed is about Rust, gardening or markets. One reader for everything. ### Where developers outgrow Feedly - **You have to know the sources first.** An RSS reader only shows what you subscribed to. The new blog everyone in your stack is reading this month never appears unless you find it yourself. - **Volume becomes a chore.** Follow enough sources and the unread count grows faster than you can read. Most of the sorting is up to you, and the AI help sits on paid plans. - **No developer community.** There is no discussion under the posts and no signal about what other developers thought was worth reading. ### What changes on daily.dev - **Discovery built in.** daily.dev curates thousands of engineering blogs, publications, newsletters and release notes. Follow a tag and posts from sources you have never heard of start showing up. - **Ranked, not just listed.** Instead of an unread count, you get a feed ordered by what matches your interests and what developers are reacting to. Skip a day and the best posts are still near the top. - **Free, with the essentials included.** Following tags and sources, blocking, bookmarks with reminders, AI search and the apps are all free. Plus is optional. ### Using both A common setup is Feedly for the handful of sources you never want to miss, like your own company blog or a niche maintainer, and daily.dev for discovery across the rest of your stack. daily.dev picks its own sources, so you cannot paste in any feed URL, but you can suggest one. ### FAQ **Is daily.dev an RSS reader?** Not exactly. daily.dev curates its own sources, many of which it reads through RSS, and ranks them into a personalized feed. You follow tags and sources rather than adding raw feed URLs. **Can I add my own RSS feed to daily.dev?** You cannot paste in any feed URL, but you can suggest a source for the team to add. If you need every post from a very specific feed, keep that one in an RSS reader alongside daily.dev. **Do developers still use RSS?** Plenty do, especially for a short list of must-read sites. Our post on whether developers still use RSS goes into who still relies on it and why. ### Further reading - [Feedly vs daily.dev: RSS reader or personalized feed?](https://daily.dev/blog/feedly-vs-daily-dev-rss-reader-personalized-feed/) - [The best RSS readers and feed tools for developers](https://daily.dev/blog/best-rss-readers-feed-tools-developers/) - [Do developers still use RSS?](https://daily.dev/blog/do-developers-still-use-rss/) - [The best news aggregator apps, tested](https://daily.dev/blog/best-news-aggregator-apps-tested-compared/) [All daily.dev alternatives](https://daily.dev/alternatives/) | [Feedly](https://feedly.com) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/og-image.png?v=a830cdf1","width":1200,"height":630},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.instagram.com/dailydotdev"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","description":"Free, personalized developer news aggregator.
