Additional Google Reader Replacement Suggestions: Not Reviewed At All

I came across this article on The Verge, which discusses the hiccups the popular Google Reader alternatives have been experiencing, and how they're improving on the original product. Plenty of people chimed in on the comments with their own products and suggestions for alternative replacements. I have not checked these out yet, but am listing here for future reference.

  • SwarmIQ - Free, I think.
  • Feedbin - $3 a month, has beta Android app
  • Tiny Tiny RSS - a free, self-hosted, open source solution. There's also an official Android client
  • Rivered - Different from other Reader alternatives in that it's just a "river" of updates - no unread items, no categories, no tags, etc. 7 day free trial, "Less than the price of a coffee per month after that". (Ugh, just name the damn price.)
  • Fez - Social, smart tags, view your feeds a few different ways, there's also a self-hosted version. Pay what you want, starting from $2 a month. If you pay for 6 month or yearly subscriptions, you'll get at least one month free. 
  • SubReader - Currently in private beta. Free to sign up.
