Feedbin

Feedbin has been regarded for years as one of the very best RSS readers around: a clean, fast interface that brings together RSS feeds, email newsletters and podcasts in one place. Trimmed Feeds supplements full-text extraction with the complete article text, and thanks to its open API, Feedbin can be used with many reader apps on smartphones and tablets. As open-source software, you can run Feedbin yourself – though the stack comprising Ruby on Rails, a database and background services is quite demanding. Managed Feedbin Hosting takes care of exactly that for you: you receive your own private Feedbin instance as a ready-to-use service and retain full control over your reading habits.

Who is Feedbin suitable for?

Feedbin is aimed at anyone who follows a large number of sources on a daily basis: knowledge workers and journalists who aggregate industry news and blogs, communications and marketing managers in SMEs who monitor the media, or power users who want to move their newsletters from their inbox to a quiet reading environment. Even those who self-host, for whom FreshRSS is too basic and Feedly too cluttered, will find the perfect combination of a first-class user interface and data sovereignty in their own Feedbin instance.

Feedbin hosting in Switzerland

With OpenHosting, your Feedbin instance runs in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region – in compliance with the nDSG, meaning your reading history is not stored with a US provider. The managed service includes daily backups following the 3-2-1 principle (hourly on the Business plan), regular updates to Feedbin components, and ongoing monitoring to ensure your feeds are reliably accessible. Our support team is on hand to assist you with importing your existing subscriptions – for example, via an OPML export from Feedly or another reader. Managed Feedbin hosting is available from CHF 15 per month with unlimited feeds for one user; the Business Plan adds support for multiple profiles and API access. This allows you to read your news sources in one of the best interfaces in the RSS world, whilst operation and maintenance are handled in Switzerland.
