SlashFeed vs Feeder
A Feeder (feeder.co) alternative with bring-your-own-AI via MCP, reading stats, open Fever/Miniflux/Google Reader sync APIs, and a flat $5 Pro — plus one-click OPML import from Feeder in about five minutes.
Why people switch
What you gain.
Bring your own AI
A personal MCP endpoint lets your own LLM read, search, and summarise your feeds — bring the model you already use, no proprietary add-on.
One flat Pro price
500 feeds free, then a flat $5/month Pro — no escalating tiers that gate how many feeds you can follow.
Open sync APIs
Point NetNewsWire, Reeder, or any Fever/Miniflux/Google Reader client at SlashFeed, instead of staying inside Feeder's own apps.
Reading stats
A heatmap, streaks, and most-read feeds — reading insight Feeder doesn't surface.

Migration
Switch from Feeder in five minutes.
Your feeds and folders come across intact, over the open OPML standard. No re-typing, no lock-in — and you can export the same way any time.
Export from Feeder
In Feeder, open your account settings and export your subscriptions as an OPML file — a small, standard file listing every feed you follow.
Create your free account
Sign up in seconds — no credit card. The free plan holds up to 500 feeds, so most Feeder libraries move over without paying a cent.
Import the OPML file
Open Import and drop in the file you exported. SlashFeed recreates your feeds and folders — it handles Feeder exports, odd encodings, and BOM markers.
Check your categories
Your folders become colour-coded categories. Reorder them by drag-and-drop and tweak anything you like — your organisation carries over intact.
Start reading
That's it. New entries collect in one clean, chronological reader — and you can export via OPML any time, so there's no lock-in.
FAQ
Switching from Feeder
Can I import my Feeder feeds into SlashFeed?
Yes. Export an OPML file from Feeder, then import it into SlashFeed in one step. Your feeds and folders come across intact — the whole move takes about five minutes.
Is SlashFeed cheaper than Feeder?
SlashFeed's free plan covers up to 500 feeds, and Pro is a flat $5/month with no higher-priced AI tier — the AI features work by connecting your own model via MCP.
Will I lose my data if I switch from Feeder?
No. OPML import brings your subscriptions and folder structure over, and SlashFeed lets you export your feeds via OPML at any time, so you're never locked in.
What does SlashFeed do that Feeder doesn't?
SlashFeed is private by design — no ad profiling — chronological rather than algorithmic, lets you bring your own AI via a personal MCP endpoint, speaks open standards (RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, Fever, Miniflux, OPML), and is planned to be open source.
