The Old Reader vs Feedly

People from Facebook or Google can be found on The Old Reader so posts can be shared and discussed.

Ever since Google Reader has ceased to be an option, The Old Reader has grown in popularity.

A clean, easy to use interface.

Intuitive, easy to overview service.

Allows for easy migration from any service that supports OPML.

Free version has a limit of 100 sites, upgrade to unlimited sites costs $25/year. Being freemium is a nice option for those that would like to try the app out without putting down any money first.

Feedly has an easy to overview interface. While this interface is clean and simple, it is still full of bright colors.

A great feature that adds to the clean feel is "eliminate clutter", which keeps only the text of the desired topic.

Feedly sign-in is done with Facebook, Twitter, Google, or Microsoft credentials. It offers many ways to share a story from within the application, including social networks, e-mail, etc.

For each news source, a different layout can be chosen. Choose between showing thumbnails, titles and summaries, titles only, thumbnails with overlaid titles in a grid, or have all content inlined.

Search a topic and Feedly will offer resources that are related to that topic.

With this feature, all subscriptions can be saved.

Feedly have made it especially easy to navigate away from Google Reader.

It supports a list UI similar to Google Reader, among other more graphical layouts.

Feedly's extension lets users add feeds directly from websites, but also lets users curate pages, save them to Evernote or Facebook, email, or Tweet pages.

There are multitudes of third party clients available for many platforms.

Feedly allows you to create unlimited Boards (folders/sets/collections) and use them to organise your saved content.

Feedly functionality can be extended and workflows automated with IFTTT and Zapier integrations that make it possible to connect the reader with hundreds of popular apps.
