AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Google Alerts News Feed is a mixed-rating Salesforce app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Feeds category on Salesforce AppExchange, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 20 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. The free tier lets you trial the entry feature set without committing a payment method. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical Salesforce AppExchange listing.

About Google Alerts News Feed
How Google Alerts News Feed works
This package contains a lighting component called 'Google Alert RSS Feed' which you can drop into either an Application Homepage or a Record Detail Page. If placed on a Record Detail Page you can specify the field on that object that stores the URL to be referenced, so you could have different news for each Account / Opportunity record. The package includes a custom field that is added to the Account object to stores this information, but the component can reference your own fields created on other objects.
This package builds on the work done in the Salesforce Labs RSS Viewer application.
