This didn't look half bad until I saw the 5 rss feed limit. I don't even mind looking at ads half the time, but a limit on my feeds is not good. Maybe something closer to a 30-50 feed limit I could deal with. maybe.

Some screen shots to look at the UI wouldn't be half bad either.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have to add some screen shots.

The 5 rss feed limit is part of our business model. Feeds consume resources and resources cost money. So we have to cover our expenses to ensure a reliable and durable service.

Still, if one only needs to monitor five feeds, they have no need for RSS. I've always been of the opinion that the free tier should at least allow one to test the service in a realistic way or to meet the demands of a common use case.

There is no point in even signing up for the free plan. If someone is using RSS, their needs will almost always exceed what is offered by that tier. I would suggest upping the feed limit or just getting rid of it entirely and offering only the paid version. I just dont see how it could accomodate anyone using RSS.

Unique feeds consume resources. Two customers following the same feed should not double the resources needed to support that feed.

Create a test account that follows the top 10-20 of public feeds already followed by your existing users. That will not consume any more resources (apart from the overhead of an extra row in your users table). Let that be the demo account.

Actually, since you're presenting reading lists as a feature, a demo/guest account can probably just subscribe to that. Then there's the resource overhead of supporting reading list(s) per account.

Screenshots are an absolute must. I don't want to create an account just to see what it looks like.

5 is still too low in my opinion. How about giving users a 10-15 day trial of premium version? That way, you won't be wasting resources without any return and users can try reader without limits too!

The 5 feeds limit is now over. You can test the Unlimited Plan as it comes with a 7-day free trial :)
