# Open-source alternatives to Feedly

> Open-source alternatives to Feedly that run locally, allow commercial use and need no paid API include FreshRSS (follow sites and track keywords; AGPL-3.0; runs on CPU). None of the 3 projects we track covers all 3 Feedly jobs, so most people combine two or more.

Feedly: News reader that collects RSS feeds, newsletters and Google News feeds in one place. Its Feedly AI layer prioritises and summarises articles and tracks topics, companies and keywords across the web. Pricing: Free for up to 100 feeds; Pro and Pro+ are paid yearly plans (priced in your local currency); Enterprise on request (checked 2026-10-21). Facts checked 2026-10-21.
