Inoreader Pricing 2026: Free vs Pro Cost (Is It Free?)
Yes, Inoreader has a free plan in 2026: $0 forever for 150 RSS feeds, plus 20 newsletter feeds and 20 web feeds. Inoreader Pro costs $7.50/month billed annually ($90/year) or $9.99 billed monthly ($119.88/year), lifting the cap to 2,500 RSS feeds and adding rules, monitoring feeds, and Inoreader Intelligence AI (1 million tokens/month). Team plans start at $44.99/month for 3 members. There is no Supporter or lifetime tier on the public 2026 Inoreader pricing page.
| Plan | Price / Month | Price / Year | RSS Feeds | AI Intelligence | API |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 150 RSS + 20 newsletter + 20 web feeds | No | No |
| Pro (Annual) | $7.50 | $90.00 | 2,500 + 20 web + 20 newsletter feeds | Yes (1M tokens/mo) | Yes |
| Pro (Monthly) | $9.99 | $119.88 | 2,500 + 20 web + 20 newsletter feeds | Yes (1M tokens/mo) | Yes |
| Team (3 members) | $44.99 | — | Pro caps + shared folders/channels | No (use Team Intelligence) | Yes |
| Team Intelligence (3 members) | $64.99 | — | Pro + Team + 6M tokens/member | Yes (6M tokens/mo) | Yes |
| Custom / Enterprise | Quote | Quote | Custom caps + API quota | Configurable | Yes |
- Inoreader Free is $0 forever for 150 RSS feeds, 20 newsletter feeds, and 20 web feeds (sites without RSS). Rules, filters, AI, and API access are all Pro features, and the free tier is ad-supported.
- Pro costs $7.50/month billed annually ($90/year) or $9.99 billed monthly. The annual plan saves $29.88 — a 24.9% discount, above the 17% SaaS median.
- Inoreader Intelligence AI is included with Pro at 1 million tokens per month, with no separate base price. Team Intelligence raises that to 6 million tokens per member.
- April 14, 2026: Inoreader shipped BYOAI. Connect your own OpenAI, Mistral AI, or Anthropic key and choose your model (Intelligence add-on or Team Intelligence required).
- API access requires Pro ($90/yr) — there is no standalone developer tier. A 15-day Pro trial plus the 7-day annual refund gives ~22 days to evaluate at zero net cost.
- If your real bottleneck is newsletter reading time rather than RSS organization, a $4.90/month Readless Pro digest de-dupes overlapping coverage across sources — a problem Inoreader doesn't try to solve.
Is Inoreader Free in 2026?
Yes. Inoreader Free is permanent, not a trial. The Free plan stays at $0 forever for 150 RSS feed subscriptions, 20 newsletter feeds, and 20 web feeds (sites without RSS), with full-text search, Google News alerts, permanent article archiving, and the web, iOS, and Android apps. The catch: monitoring feeds, rules, filters, AI, and API access are all Pro features, and banner ads appear in the free article list.
Per the official pricing page and independent reviews from Zapier, the Free plan includes 150 RSS feeds, 20 newsletter feeds, and 20 web feeds. Pro adds the higher 2,500-feed cap plus monitoring feeds, rules, filters, AI, and API access. Inoreader also removed the standalone Supporter plan ($20/year for 500 feeds, ad-free) from its public pricing; existing Supporters can renew, but new users only see Free, Pro, or Team.
How Much Does Inoreader Pro Cost?
Inoreader Pro costs $7.50/month billed annually ($90/year) or $9.99/month billed monthly ($119.88/year), raising the subscription cap to 2,500 RSS feeds. Annual billing saves $29.88 — a 24.9% discount, above the 17% median SaaS annual discount. Inoreader's 7-day refund window on annual payments stacks on the 15-day Pro trial, giving you roughly 22 days to evaluate at zero net cost. Here's what each tier includes, verified against inoreader.com/pricing as of June 2026:
| Feature / Limit | Free ($0) | Pro ($7.50/mo annual) |
|---|---|---|
| RSS feed subscriptions | 150 | 2,500 |
| Newsletter feeds | 20 | 20 |
| Web feeds (sites without RSS) | 20 | 20 |
| Monitoring feeds (keyword alerts) | 0 (Pro only) | 30 |
| Rules & filters | No | Yes |
| Inoreader Intelligence AI | No | Yes (1M tokens/mo) |
| API access | No | Yes |
| Ads | Yes (ad-supported) | No (ad-free) |
The Team tier is tier-based by team size, not per-seat. Per the enterprise pricing page, 3 members is $44.99/month (Team) or $64.99/month (Team Intelligence with AI); 5 members is $74.99–$99.99; 10 members is $119.99–$169.99; 20 members is $224.99–$319.99; 50 members is $374.99–$629.99. Minimum team size is 3. For a head-to-head against other readers, see our Readwise vs Feedly vs Inoreader pricing breakdown.
Inoreader Intelligence: AI Tokens and the April 2026 BYOAI Launch
Inoreader Intelligence is bundled into Pro and Team plans with monthly token allowances — 1 million tokens/month on Pro, 6 million per member on Team Intelligence — at no separate base price. If you exhaust your allowance, you can buy more tokens or switch to BYOAI. Launched in March 2025 and detailed in Inoreader's January 2026 overview, Intelligence handles summaries, article Q&A, suggested tags, and automated reports.
On April 14, 2026, Inoreader added platform choice and BYOAI: connect your own OpenAI, Mistral AI, or Anthropic API key and select the model. There's a nuance worth catching. Platform selection is available on Pro, but connecting your own key and choosing a model requires the Intelligence add-on or a Team Intelligence plan.
| Plan | Tokens / Month | BYOAI (Own Key + Model)? | Default Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 (Intelligence locked) | No | n/a |
| Pro ($7.50/mo annual) | 1 million | Yes, with Intelligence add-on | GPT-4o-mini |
| Team Intelligence (per member) | 6 million | Yes (admin-configurable) | GPT-4o-mini |
| Custom / Enterprise | 6 million+ (negotiable) | Yes (admin-managed) | Configurable |
Credit where it's due: Inoreader Intelligence is one of the more genuinely useful AI integrations in the RSS space. Per-article summaries are accurate, the suggested-tags engine actually saves time on filing, and the automated reports added in March 2026 reduce a manual sweep to a scheduled briefing. If you live inside RSS and want AI on top of it, Pro plus BYOAI is the cleanest path — and at $7.50/month annual, it comes in cheaper than buying separate ChatGPT Plus or Perplexity Pro just to summarize feeds.
Inoreader API Pricing for Developers
There is no standalone Inoreader API tier or developer-only price in 2026. API access is bundled into Pro at $7.50/month annual ($90/year). Per Inoreader's developer portal, the only exception is a free API path for developers building publicly available apps on platforms where Inoreader has no native client, and that requires a sales conversation. For personal scripts, paid apps, or OAuth integrations, Pro is the floor; higher quotas or SSO need Custom/Enterprise.
Inoreader vs Feedly Pricing: Which Is Cheaper?
Feedly Pro is now cheaper than Inoreader Pro on the base tier — $6.99/month versus Inoreader's $7.50/month annual — but Inoreader includes AI in the box, while Feedly gates Leo AI behind Pro+ at $99/year on the annual plan ($8.25/month) or $12.99/month billed monthly. The answer flips on whether you want AI. Inoreader Free also covers 150 RSS feeds versus Feedly Free's 100 sources, per 2026 Feedly pricing breakdowns and Feedly's plan documentation.
| Tool | Free Tier | Cheapest Paid | AI Summaries (Cost) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inoreader | 150 RSS feeds | $7.50/mo annual ($90/yr) | Included with Pro (1M tokens) | Power users wanting AI + rules + monitoring in one tool |
| Feedly | 100 sources | $6/mo annual ($72/yr, Pro) | Leo AI on Pro+ ($99/yr annual, $12.99/mo monthly) | Clean UI; AI costs extra at a higher tier |
| Readless | 7-day trial | $4.90/mo | Included (every digest, cross-source) | Newsletter-heavy readers wanting one digest, not another app |
| NewsBlur | 64 sites | $36/yr (~$3/mo) | Ask AI on Premium Archive ($99/yr) | Cheapest paid RSS; trainable filters |
| Feedbin | Trial | $5/mo ($50/yr) | No native AI | Dedicated newsletter email address |
Two purchase patterns hold up beyond the big two: NewsBlur Premium at $36/year is the cheapest paid RSS reader and a credible pick if you don't need automation (its Ask AI features sit on the Premium Archive tier at $99/year). Feedbin's $50/year plan ships a dedicated newsletter email address, making it the better fit if your real goal is getting newsletters out of Gmail rather than organizing RSS, per Feedbin's pricing. Neither dedupes across sources, and neither bundles AI summarization the way Inoreader Intelligence does.
If your real problem is reading 60 minutes of newsletters daily, RSS pricing isn't the bottleneck. See how an AI digest reduces it to 5. You get a personalized @mail.readless.app address, flexible digest timing, and AI summaries that surface what matters, without extra tabs or another app to install.

Where Readless Fits If Inoreader's AI Feels Like the Wrong Layer
Inoreader is the right tool when your bottleneck is organizing RSS feeds and you want AI summaries on top. Readless solves a different problem: cross-source de-duplication and one-digest delivery for email newsletters plus RSS, at $4.90/month. They're not direct competitors. What matters is whether your reading workflow is RSS-first (Inoreader) or newsletter-first (Readless). Inoreader is genuinely strong on filters, automation rules, and feed headroom; Readless is the AI-digest layer for newsletter overload.
- Cross-source de-duplication. Inoreader Intelligence summarizes articles one at a time. If TLDR, Ben's Bites, The Rundown, and Import AI all cover the same OpenAI launch, you see four summaries. Readless detects that overlap and merges them into one digest entry that keeps each source's distinct insight and links back to every original (Readless product spec).
- Forwarding inbox at
@mail.readless.app. Inoreader treats email newsletters as a separate 20-feed cap inside Pro. Readless assigns a per-user forwarding address that ingests any newsletter you forward or subscribe with it, with no Gmail/Outlook OAuth and every email platform compatible by default (Readless product spec).
Many users keep a free Inoreader account for RSS power-tooling (rules, monitoring, API) and forward their newsletter inbox to Readless for the daily digest — the two tools coexist cleanly. At $4.90/month, Readless Pro also strips ads and tracking from newsletter HTML and supports up to 3 separate digest schedules (e.g. tech at 7am, finance at noon). It's aimed at the reading-time problem rather than the organization problem. See how Readless works →

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Inoreader free?
Yes — Inoreader Free is permanent, not a trial. It includes 150 RSS feed subscriptions, 20 newsletter feeds, 20 web feeds, full-text search, Google News alerts, permanent article archiving, and the web, iOS, and Android apps at $0 forever. Banner ads appear in the article list. Monitoring feeds, rules, filters, Inoreader Intelligence AI, and API access are all gated behind Pro at $7.50/month annual or $9.99 monthly.
What are Inoreader's free plan limits in 2026?
Inoreader Free caps you at 150 RSS feed subscriptions, plus 20 newsletter feeds and 20 web feeds (sites without native RSS) on the free plan. Free users get no monitoring feeds, no rules or filters, and no AI. You do keep full-text search, Google News alerts, and permanent article storage. To go beyond those caps or add rules, monitoring, and AI, you need Pro, which lifts the cap to 2,500 RSS feeds.
How much is Inoreader Pro per month?
Inoreader Pro costs $7.50 per month billed annually ($90/year) or $9.99 when billed monthly ($119.88/year). The annual plan saves $29.88 — a 24.9% discount, above the 17% SaaS median. Pro unlocks 2,500 RSS feeds, 20 newsletter feeds, 20 web feeds, 30 monitoring feeds, rules and filters, Inoreader Intelligence with 1 million AI tokens per month, IFTTT/Zapier, full API access, and ad-free reading. Per the official pricing page, this pricing has been stable through mid-2026.
What does Inoreader Intelligence cost?
Inoreader Intelligence is not sold as a standalone flat-price add-on — it is bundled into Pro and Team plans with monthly token allowances. Pro includes 1 million Intelligence tokens per month at no extra cost beyond the $7.50/month Pro price; Team Intelligence raises that to 6 million tokens per member. If you exhaust your allowance, you can buy more tokens, or switch to BYOAI and connect your own OpenAI, Mistral AI, or Anthropic key.
What is Inoreader BYOAI and when did it launch?
BYOAI (Bring Your Own AI) launched April 14, 2026 and lets Inoreader users power Intelligence features with their own API keys for OpenAI, Mistral AI, or Anthropic, plus pick the model. Platform selection is available on Pro, but connecting your own key and choosing a model requires the Intelligence add-on or a Team Intelligence plan. BYOAI bypasses the included token bucket — you pay your AI provider directly at metered rates. The default model stays GPT-4o-mini for users who don't bring a key.
Inoreader vs Feedly: which is cheaper?
For plain RSS reading, Feedly Pro is now cheaper at $6.99/month versus Inoreader Pro's $7.50/month annual. But Inoreader includes AI summaries in Pro at $90/year, while Feedly gates its Leo AI assistant behind Pro+ at $99/year on the annual plan ($8.25/month) or $12.99/month billed monthly. So Feedly wins on price for reading-only use; Inoreader wins on value the moment you want AI — Inoreader Pro ($90/yr) undercuts Feedly Pro+ ($99/yr) while bundling AI. On free tiers, Inoreader covers 150 RSS feeds versus Feedly's 100 sources. See our Feedly vs Inoreader free plan limits guide for the full breakdown.
Does Inoreader have a student or nonprofit discount?
Inoreader does not publish a public student or nonprofit discount. Some users report case-by-case educational discounts through support@inoreader.com, but these are not advertised and not guaranteed. The only structural discount is the 24.9% savings from choosing Pro Annual ($90/year) over Pro Monthly ($119.88/year). For a more reliable cost reduction, combine the 15-day Pro trial with the 7-day annual refund window — effectively about 22 days of full Pro access at zero cost before any commitment.
Can I get an Inoreader API key for free?
Generally no — API access is bundled into Inoreader Pro at $7.50/month annual ($90/year) and is not available on Free. There is one narrow exception: per Inoreader's developer portal, free API access can be granted to developers building publicly available client apps on platforms where Inoreader doesn't ship a native app. That path requires emailing sales for approval, not a self-serve signup. For personal scripts, internal automations, OAuth integrations, or paid apps, Pro is the required floor.
Is the Inoreader Supporter or lifetime plan still available?
No. Inoreader removed the standalone Supporter plan (historically $20/year for 500 feeds and ad-free reading) from its public 2026 pricing page; existing Supporters can renew, but new users only see Free, Pro, or Team. There is also no lifetime deal in 2026, and no public record of one in recent years. Third-party coupon directories list 20–70% off codes, but reader reports on r/InoReader consistently flag these as expired at checkout. The legitimate path to lower cost is Pro Annual plus the 7-day refund window.
How much do Inoreader Team plans cost?
Inoreader Team plans are tier-based by team size, not per-seat. Per the enterprise pricing page: 3 members is $44.99/month (Team) or $64.99/month (Team Intelligence with AI); 5 members is $74.99–$99.99; 10 members is $119.99–$169.99; 20 members is $224.99–$319.99; 50 members is $374.99–$629.99. Minimum team size is 3. All Team members get full Pro features plus shared folders, channels, tags, SSO, and Slack/Microsoft Teams integrations. Team Intelligence adds 6 million AI tokens per member per month with admin-configurable BYOAI defaults.
