follow.it pulls every website, blog, and API feed you care about into one dashboard, then routes updates wherever you actually read — inbox, RSS reader, Telegram, Slack, or your phone — instead of leaving you to check a dozen sources by hand.
follow.it is free to start, with paid plans beginning at $5/month for higher feed limits, AI summaries, and ad-free email delivery.
What is follow.it?
follow.it is positioned as an alternative to Feedly, Inoreader, and NewsBlur. The company, follow.it, is based in Balzan, Malta, founded in November 2016, and now runs as a bootstrapped, growth-stage team of 11-50 people. follow.it for Readers is the company’s flagship consumer product, alongside sibling products follow.it for Publishers, BackupBliss, and TasteWP, as founder Nick Ahmann notes. His framing of the roadmap goes beyond RSS, too — he describes plans to cover social mentions, WordPress and GitHub activity, and security alerts, with new feed types added based on what buyers ask for.
The problem it targets is information sprawl: tracking competitors, industry news, YouTube channels, and site uptime usually means several separate tools and a lot of manual checking. follow.it consolidates that into one hub with filtering, so updates arrive only when they actually matter.
Key features
Pull every update into one hub
Websites, blogs, and specialized API feeds aggregate into a single dashboard, with delivery set to instant alerts, a daily Newspaper digest, or a weekly Magazine depending on how you like to consume news, and content can be read directly in the inbox or routed to RSS, Telegram, Slack, browser push, or mobile alerts.

Filter out the noise
Any feed can be filtered by keyword, tag, or author, with delivery frequency and channel controlled per feed so Slack stays clean and the inbox stays useful, and AI prompts can be used to filter and surface only the updates that matter most.
Read updates your way
Stories can be saved to a personal news page to organize everything being tracked in one place, forwarded to Buffer to queue content straight to social channels, and a Chrome extension plus mobile alerts keep users current on breaking updates wherever they are.
Monitor more than just websites
follow.it can track YouTube channels and alert on new videos matching keyword or quality criteria, watch website uptime, SSL/TLS expiry, and domain changes, and follow exchange rates, commodity prices, and weather alerts through its specialized API feeds. Separate “number feeds” and “course feeds” categories handle price and stat tracking and course-update monitoring, each with their own per-tier caps alongside the regular feed count.
Plans and pricing
follow.it’s five plans are monthly subscriptions that scale by feed volume, AI usage, and support level. Support is standard on the Free and Hello plans and upgrades to premium from Basic up, and that same jump also unlocks faster email delivery — up to 5x quicker on Basic and up to 10x on Standard and Pro.
| Plan | Price | Billing | Key limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Monthly | 100 RSS feeds, 1 number feed, 1 course feed, no AI summaries |
| Hello | $5/mo | Monthly | 500 RSS feeds, 10 API feeds, 5 AI summaries/day, ads in emails |
| Basic | $10/mo | Monthly | 1,000 RSS feeds, 25 API feeds, 20 AI summaries/day, no ads, premium support |
| Standard | $20/mo | Monthly | 3,000 RSS feeds, 50 API feeds, 50 AI summaries/day, premium support |
| Pro | $40/mo | Monthly | 8,000 RSS feeds, unlimited number feeds, 100 AI summaries/day, premium support |
follow.it does not publish a blanket refund policy, but every plan can be canceled at any time, and the Free plan lets you try the core feed-aggregation experience before paying anything.
Who it’s best for — and who should skip it
follow.it is built for content creators, marketers, and solopreneurs, and the feed-based tiers suit anyone tracking competitor blogs, client mentions, or industry news across dozens of sources without paying per-seat for a reader app.
It’s a weaker fit for buyers who want ad-free email delivery without upgrading — the Free and Hello plans still show ads in emails, and removing them requires Basic — or for teams that need more than 500 feeds immediately, since heavier aggregation pushes toward Standard. Anyone wanting a long, proven review history before buying should also note the Readers product is new, even though the company itself has run since 2016.
What users say
follow.it holds a 4.7-out-of-5 rating, though the review count is still small at just 9 so far, with 7 of those at five stars. Reviewers consistently call out a clean, simple interface and fast onboarding — one buyer had feeds set up around both personal and business interests within minutes of signing up.
The Chrome extension gets specific praise for letting users add a feed in one click, and multiple reviewers mention upgrading to Basic specifically to remove ads from email delivery. Founder Nick Ahmann replies personally to every review, which is easy to verify given how few reviews there currently are.
Price and value
follow.it’s Free plan costs nothing to start, and the $5/month Hello plan undercuts what a Feedly Pro or Inoreader subscription typically costs per month, while the specialized feeds — uptime, SSL expiry, exchange rates — go beyond what typical RSS readers offer at all. The tradeoff is a small review base for this exact product, so buyers are leaning partly on the parent company’s decade-long track record rather than a long history for follow.it for Readers specifically.
Verdict
follow.it bundles a clean, fast feed reader with genuinely unusual monitoring — uptime, SSL, YouTube, commodities — starting with a free plan that undercuts competing subscriptions, with the main caveats being ads on the entry tiers and a still-thin review history for this specific listing.
