Based on the data on this page, RSS Viewer is the stronger choice for most Salesforce AppExchange admins — 3.1★ vs NewsFeed's 1.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
Pricing entry tiers: RSS Viewer at free, NewsFeed at free. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage admins who need fast install and low risk should default to RSS Viewer; mid-market and enterprise admins with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — NewsFeed's 4-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than RSS Viewer's broader-but-shallower coverage.
This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Salesforce AppExchange listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

RSS Viewer holds the higher average rating (3.1★ vs 1.0★). That is the one dimension AppRanks can separate them on here — read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Salesforce AppExchange. RSS Viewer has the deeper published review base (16 vs 4), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
RSS Viewer typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (16 reviews). NewsFeed typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (4 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. RSS Viewer and NewsFeed both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from NewsFeed" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
