Feedly pricing in 2026, plan by plan, for founders
What Free, Pro, Pro+ and Enterprise include, what a founder actually needs from them, and why an AI alert tool fits the job better.
Feedly pricing looks simple on the surface: a free plan, two paid tiers and an Enterprise plan. For a founder, the useful question is narrower. What does it cost to stay on top of competitors, customers and your market, and is a reader the right shape of tool for that at all? Below is the plan-by-plan math as of October 2026, followed by what we would pay instead.
Feedly's plans
| Plan | Price | Feeds | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100, in 3 folders | Web and mobile reading, with sponsored ads |
| Pro | $6.99/mo billed annually | 1,000 | Search, notes and highlights, sharing to Zapier, IFTTT, Buffer and LinkedIn, faster updates, no ads |
| Pro+ | $12.37/mo billed annually | 2,500 | Feedly AI Feeds, AI mute filters, deduplication, newsletters, Google News feeds, RSS Builder |
| Enterprise | Contact sales | 7,500 | Team feeds, Slack and Microsoft Teams, API, SSO, market and competitive intelligence |

What a founder actually needs
A founder rarely needs 1,000 feeds. The common jobs are short:
- Know when a competitor changes pricing, launches a product or raises money.
- Know when the company, its product or its founders are mentioned.
- Know when a rule, standard or platform policy that affects the business changes.
On Feedly, jobs 1 and 2 point you to Pro+ for AI Feeds, which find relevant articles across Feedly's article pool, and for RSS Builder, which turns pages without RSS into feeds. That is about $148 a year at the regular annual rate. Competitive intelligence as a packaged feature and team Slack delivery sit in Enterprise.
The bigger cost is time. Every one of those jobs still ends with someone opening a reader and scanning.
The alert route: AyeWatch
AyeWatch is our pick for founders because it fits those three jobs directly. It is an AI monitor, not a reader. Each job becomes a monitor written as a sentence:
- "Pricing, plan or packaging changes on these three competitor sites" as webpage monitors on each pricing page.
- "News, forum or social posts that mention our product or our founders by name" as a topic monitor.
- "Changes to the app store review guidelines that affect subscription apps" as a topic or webpage monitor.
When something matches, you get a push alert with a short summary and source links. Everything else waits in a daily digest.
What AyeWatch costs a founder
You can try AyeWatch through a Free Preview with three runs and no card, and paid plans start at $9 a month. There are no contracts or cancellation fees, so a founder can test it for a month against real competitors and walk away if the alerts are not useful.
Why it is the better fit overall
The price is only part of the picture. What a founder is really buying is attention back, and that is where AyeWatch pulls ahead of a reader:
- Rules in plain English. You describe what matters in a sentence instead of building folders, keyword lists or mute filters.
- It judges each item. AI reads new items by meaning and decides whether they matter to you, so a press release that only mentions a rival in passing does not ping you.
- Short summaries with sources. Each alert says what happened and links to where it came from, so you can act in a minute.
- Pages and topics in one place. Paste a competitor's pricing URL, or describe a topic and let it search news, forums, blogs and social platforms.
- Alerts where you work. Push and the in-app feed come with every plan; paid plans add email, Slack, Discord, webhooks and an API.
- Web, iOS and Android apps, kept in sync, so the founder on a plane still sees the competitor launch.
Feedly Pro is cheaper per month, but it does not filter by meaning or follow pages without RSS. Feedly Pro+ adds AI to the reader, yet still asks you to open it and read.
The honest trade-off: if part of your week is reading long-form analysis from writers you trust, Feedly is the better place for that, and its free plan may be enough. Many founders keep Feedly Free for reading and move the "tell me when" questions to AyeWatch.
