Muuted vs Inoreader
Inoreader is a power-user RSS reader known for deep automation. Muuted is a one-person project with a narrower promise: your sources, your mutes, no algorithm — ever. Here is an honest look at where they differ.
The short version
| Muuted | Inoreader | |
|---|---|---|
| Who decides what you see | You do. Your sources, newest first — there is no ranking algorithm at all. | Chronological reading; optional sorting and rules |
| Muting words and topics | A core feature: mute any word or topic in one tap — forever, or for a day, a week, or a month. | Filtering rules are part of the paid plans |
| What happens to hidden stories | They stay in a review list showing the exact rule that caught them. Restore or unmute any time. | Filtered stories are removed by your rules |
| Ads and pricing | No ads, ever, on any tier. Free tier stays free; Pro is $4/month or $36/year. | Free tier is ad-supported; paid plans remove ads and add rules |
| Your data | OPML import and export plus a one-click JSON backup — your subscriptions are never locked in. | OPML import and export |
