COMPARISON · UPDATED OCTOBER 2026
Monolith News vs Feedly
Feedly and Monolith News both run on RSS, but they're for different jobs. Feedly is a reader: you choose the feeds and it organises them. Monolith News is a ready-made newsroom view: the sources are already chosen, labelled and mapped.
We make Monolith News, so read this with that in mind. We've tried to be fair, including about where Feedly is the better choice.
At a glance
| MONOLITH NEWS | FEEDLY | |
|---|---|---|
| Core idea | A live news feed and map of world news | An RSS reader for the feeds you follow |
| Setup | None. 560+ sources are already included. | You add and organise your own sources |
| Bias / trust labels | A trust and bias label on every source. 86 core sources are cross-referenced to Ad Fontes, AllSides or MBFC; the rest carry Monolith's own editorial rating, and we say so. | Not a feature its plan docs describe |
