Compare → Folo
The Folo alternative without the quotas.
Folo puts AI at the centre and meters almost everything around it — subscriptions, summaries, translations, actions. SlashFeed is the quiet opposite: 500 feeds free, a flat $5 Pro, and your own AI via MCP when you want it. Bring your feeds across in about five minutes.
Why people switch
What you gain by leaving Folo.
Nothing counted against you
Folo meters subscriptions, AI summaries, translations, text-to-speech, actions and inboxes, each by tier. SlashFeed gives you 500 feeds free and one flat $5 Pro plan.
Bring your own AI
A personal MCP endpoint lets your own model read, search and summarise your feeds — no per-day credit budget, and no top tier to reach before you can use your own key.
Keep the app you like
SlashFeed speaks the Fever, Miniflux and Google Reader protocols, so NetNewsWire, Reeder, FeedMe and Readrops sync against it. Folo syncs with Folo.
Chronological by default
Everything your sources publish, newest first. AI is something you point at your feeds when you want it — not the thing that decides what reaches you.

Migration
Switch from Folo 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 Folo
In Folo, 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 Folo 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 Folo 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 Folo
Can I import my Folo feeds into SlashFeed?
Yes. Export an OPML file from Folo, 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 Folo?
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 Folo?
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 Folo 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.
