NewsBlur alternative

The NewsBlur alternative that mutes everywhere at once.

NewsBlur's trainer is genuinely clever, but it works source by source. Muuted's muted words apply across your whole feed in one tap — and ten maintained junk filters handle the recurring clutter for you.

Feed-wide mutingTen maintained junk filters100 free sources
Short answer One mute. Every source.

NewsBlur trains one site at a time — Muuted mutes a word across your whole feed at once.

Why switch

One mute, whole feed.

Train a topic away in NewsBlur and you've trained one site. Mute a word in Muuted and it's gone from every source at once. Same $36/yr price point on the founding plan. See the full nine-column breakdown on the comparison page.

NewsBlur integrations

Looking for NewsBlur integrations? Here is what Muuted plugs into.

NewsBlur has a public API and channels on IFTTT and Zapier. Muuted does not: there is no public API and no IFTTT or Zapier channel today. What it does connect to: any RSS or Atom feed, YouTube channels, podcasts, and Bluesky and Mastodon accounts as sources; OPML import from any reader and OPML export back out; a share link on every story; and mute packs you can share as a link, so a friend installs your filters in one tap. If your workflow depends on API automations, NewsBlur is the better fit, and we would rather say so here.

When to stay, when to switch

The honest version.

Stay with NewsBlur if you enjoy per-site training and its social layer. Switch if you'd rather say a word once and have it muted everywhere, with junk filtering that maintains itself.

Switching is one step

Export OPML from NewsBlur, import into Muuted.

Nothing to rebuild

Muting and junk filters work the moment you land.

Free to test

100 sources + 10 muted words before paying anything.
