We are looking for alternatives to Google Reader
As it became known recently, Google Reader closes on July 1. Immediately, I began to look for alternatives.
In this post, I consider only online readers. Feedly type plugins are not considered.
1. NewsBlur
Free up to 64 subscriptions and no more than 10 posts. Paid - from $ 12 / year. There is an API .
Pros:
Minuses:
')
2. BazQux Reader
Fee, trial 30 days. From $ 9 / year. There are imports of Opml and Google Reader. Rather handy thing, easy interface.
On Habré there is a developer of this service vshabanov .
Pros:
Minuses:
3. Zentomi
Is free. Import from Google Reader is. It is difficult to say how convenient it is - the headlines and short contents of the article are located on the left side, and if there are many subscriptions, you have to scroll for a long time. Although, if you adapt yourself, it will be convenient.
Pros:
Minuses:
4. PulseFeed
Is free. It is possible to import from OPML. So did not update anything.
5. Feederator
Is free. Horrible interface, no import (and with my 400+ subscriptions ...). Even do not want to consider.
6. Good Noows
Is free. There is an OPML import. Enough nice interface. There are many display styles.
7. BlogTrottr
Is free. There is an OPML import. Of the 400+ subscriptions imported 25. Next did not look
8. Yandex Subscriptions
Is free. There is an OPML import. Convenient interface and functionality similar to Google Reader. It is possible to collapse the message. Two things are grieving - the unread messages and the general concept of Yandex design are not highlighted (well, I don’t like it to me!). And so, one of the best free alternatives. There is an API .
9. Blogkeen
Is free. No import. This mega-carrying pink design, as if on some Tagbrand hit.
10. PublicRSS
Is free. There is an OPML import. Import did, and the subscription did not appear. Obviously long ago tried to copy Google Reader.
11. Netvibes
It seems like free. There is an OPML import. You can view both widgets and reader. Probably the most user-friendly interface of all the readers in question. The best alternative to Google Reader. There is an API .
12. zenCancan
Is free. There is an OPML import. In French, but Google translates well. On the interface - below average, but you can use.
13. Channelorama
Is free. You can import 100 subscriptions from OPML at a time, and then you need to re-upload the file - WAT? .. Interface - Web 1.0, absolutely not suitable for this service, and even the devil will break his leg. With the Russian coding of the problem.
14. Q-Sensei FeedBooster
Is free. There are imports from Google Reader and OPML. Imported quickly enough. Pretty simple and nice interface. Of the free - one of the best.
15. BlogLines
Failed to import to do. Yes, and it is based on Netvibes.
16. NewsIsFree
Free. There is an OPML import, but Google did not catch it. Next did not test, and the design is not very. There is an API .
17. FeedShow
Is free. There is an OPML import. Simple interface. But I could not register - said Email address is not valid.
18. The Old Reader
19. Rolio

21. Feedbin
Paid, $ 2 / month. No trial. Test failed. There is an API .
22. bloglovin

23. RSS Miner
Is free. Import from Google Reader. Convenient interface, there are categories, but not hooked.
24. Taptu
Is free. Import from Google Reader. There are clients for Android and IOS. Magazine-like interface, no categories. Not very comfortable.
25. ZZReader

29. Intigi
Trial 30 days, further from $ 19 / month. There is an OPML import. It seems to import, but nothing has loaded. There is an API .
30. LikeHack
Is free. There is an import from Google Reader. All the news comes in one stream - very uncomfortable.
31. Dotdotdot
Is free. Import from Google Reader. There are categories. There is an iOS application. The design is beautiful, but the interface is inconvenient.
Could not fully test, because the import does not work.
32. Feedspot
Is free. Import from OPML. There are categories. Nice design, user-friendly interface. There are bookmarks. One of the best free readers.
33. Subpug
Is free. Import from OPML. Nice design, user-friendly interface, though loading slowly. This reader is not very suitable to this list, because there is no authorization. But there is a chance that will appear.
34. Alesti
Is free. Import from OPML. Archaic design, but rather convenient interface. There are no categories, but there are tags.
35. Pheedr
Is free. Import from OPML. Nice design, but absolutely non-usable interface. When editing a feed, it is terribly slow. There are categories, but they are hard to see because of the terrible interface.
36. Kedoya
Is free. Import from OPML. Mediocre design and interface. There are categories. In just a few hours, not a single entry appeared.
37. FeedHQ
Is free. Import from OPML. Fast import. Minimalistic design. It is inconvenient to use, because articles are only in the form of headlines, and the full version opens on a new page. But the service has just opened (they sent an invitation today), so there are prospects. There is an open source version .
38. BlogRoll
Free. Import from Google Reader. Good design. Usability is average because There is no selection of the type of feeds in the form of a list. Unstable, because Log out from time to time after refreshing the page. Long loads feeds. There are favorites
39. i.ua
Free. Import from OPML. Bad design, no usability - and could not open the article. There are categories.
40. KickRSS
Free. Import from OPML. Gnarled design and no usability. No categories. After importing feeds you need to add manually to the main page
41. Yanobs Reader
Free. You can only import line by line. At the core is the well-known open-source project tt-rss tt-rss.org . It is not clear why there is no import from OPML, because it is embedded in tt-rss. The design and interface are not bad.
42. FeedRinse
Free. There is an import from OPML, but no feed has been updated. There is an export to OPML.
For me personally, the most promising reader seems to be the BazQux Reader . By the way, its author is on Habré .
At the end of the survey on your impressions. If you find any rss-aggregator, write in the comments.
PS In the beginning of June I plan to write the 2nd part of the article, with the analysis of new and old services. Also stay tuned to this post.
