Pocket vs Inoreader

This means that Pocket is (currently) a total lock-in.
This is very sad, unfortunate and creates a no go decision for any seasoned user.
Too many bookmarking and tagging companies have stopped or have gone bankrupt these last years (e.g. Kippt, Spingpad, Delicious (to some extent), etc...). So, if you are going to invest a lot of your personal time and energy in curating your Internet findings (i.e. your bookmarks and tags), it is essential that a total, fair and open export (including all tags) functionality is provided. Personally tested the export "feature" and the resulting .html file that Pocket generates currently included only the URLs themselves, i.e. no save dates nor any of your personally curated tags, nor any other useful meta-data.
This is deplorable, because otherwise, Pocket is a very polished and well-functioning piece of multi-platform and multi-device software/app/web service, with a very easy and well-designed and implemented user interface...
Please fix this, Pocket !
These days of open and inter-operable web services, users are only attracted by valuable functionality, clean UX design and no lockins.

Although the pro version lets us search by tags, the search results unfortunately does not follow the time sequence of the saving of articles. Search results may show some old articles first, then a bunch of new articles, and then again old articles. It's so random and frustating.

I have been using Pocket pro for quite a long time primarily because it lets me have the permanent copy of a news (this feature is really useful in journalism). However, when I search tag wise for the old references, the absence of time-sequencing the search results really frustates me.

If the page title isn't correct/good for a link, there is no way for you to fix it.

A real bookmark tool has editable fields like title, url, folder, tags, notes. This saves webpages.

For example, imagine you accidentally created a tag "US" instead of "USA," and saved some articles under "US." The unfortunate part is even if you edit the tag and rename it "USA" , the previous tag name will always appear in the suggested tags: so when saving an article, if you type US in the tag box, you will see two suggestions "US" and "USA."

When importing bookmarks from Firefox, Pocket doesn't include the tags.

Ads appear in both mobile apps and the web version.

While Inoreader's basic functions are still available for free users, many of the options involving customization and search options are limited to paying users.

If you don't read items older than 1 month they are automatically marked as read, with no possibility to "unread" them.

You can't create sub folders. This makes it a bit harder to organize saved content.

In February 2019 Inoreader announced that the "Professional" plan will be capped (big change from unlimited filters to just 30!):

Based on our observations, the new premium feature limits on the “Pro” plan are as follows:

10 Rules - *** Increased to 30 Rules after Inoreader evaluated feedback from their users.

30 Active Searches

100 Boosted Feeds

30 Social media feeds per service (Facebook, Twitter, VKontakte).

These limitations will be applied to your account at the start of your next subscription period. All features that you use above the new limits will be deactivated, and only those that were created earliest chronologically will remain (For e.g. your earliest 10 Rules created).

Only a small amount of e-mails looks OK. Most e-mails are unreadable.
