@inoreader’s new plan will leave 90% of users unaffected. I am in the other 10% not sure I should to upgrade, it is quite a jump from current $14.99 to $49.99; slash my feeds, & lose RSS feeds; or take opportunity explore other RSS services.

@johnjohnston I have not double checked but I am pretty sure I am in the 90% group and my subscription does not come up for renewal until next January. I do know that I would not pay $49.99 for a feed reader
@klandwehr I really like the service, but it does seem a bit much. Feedbin seems to be around the same price. I may just trim my feeds. currently I do a lot of mark all anyway.
@johnjohnston Before the announcement I’d been considering upgrading for more features. I was interested in recent discussions here about feed readers. I was annoyed by Innoreader’s email — I too will be affected — I didn’t care for their wording — it was kind of slimy. As of today I’m trying Feedbin, liking its features and considering ditching Innoreader and subbing to Feedbin.
@johnjohnston I thought I would try WordPress.com reader since I’m already signed up anyway and it’s absolutely free and they have the phone app.
@Miraz please let us know how you get on. I am starting to think of this as an opportunity.
@bradenslen I’ll have a look. Opml import would be helpful for me.
@johnjohnston I agree
@johnjohnston Even though I just paid an annual sub for Inoreader in November I’m pretty much sold on Feedbin just from this morning’s messing about. I added a few newsletter subs, and a few Twitter feeds from an account I kept solely for those feeds. Just considering monthly vs annual now.
@Miraz I switched to Feedbin last year and have been very happy with it. Be advised, however, that it will suck system memory dry if left open in a Safari browser tab on macOS. 😉
@retrophisch Ah, thanks. I’m feeding it into Reeder so I think that should be fine. You were probably the person who talked about Feedbin which led me to try it. 😀
@Miraz 👍🏽
@johnjohnston Wow, $49.99 looks too steep for a feed reader. May be you can lose some of the feeds — at times with my limited subscriptions, I get overwhelmed by the unreads. Mark all as read gets used a lot then.
@amit I need to do a serious trim. I don’t really feel any pain seeing a huge unread count though. Problem is:
Start to prune feeds

I feel that I get enough worth out of Inoreader and am not yet ready to jump to a full IndieWeb Reader. I still prefer Inoreader to Feedly. Guess I will see.
Arron, yes inoreader will probably work out fine for me, I’ll need to trim my feeds and will explore some other options in the meantime. I will miss getting a feed from a folder of feeds. I found that very useful for one or two projects but am not using it currently, it will break some of my internet history though. I am keeping half an eye on the IndieWeb Reader idea but this site is not ready for that.
