telefeedbot - web/rss reader vs Feed Reader Bot
For most readers Feed Reader Bot (@TheFeedReaderBot) is the safer pick: its plans, limits and refresh rates are published on a current website, and it follows YouTube and X as well as RSS. telefeedbot (@telefeedbot) is free and takes a plain site or Reddit link, but its help page dates from 2017 and its public code was last changed in 2018. Feed Reader Bot's catch is the free 12-hour refresh on 10 feeds. If you want a handful of simple feeds at no cost and can live with an unmaintained tool, try telefeedbot.
