Feedbin alternatives
2 open-source projects that already do this job. Free to use - not free to run, which is what the numbers on the right are for.

What you give up either way
- Hosted reliability, uptime and backups (you must host/monitor yourself)
- Built-in email-to-RSS newsletter ingest (requires inbound email handling)
- Seamless sync with third-party native apps (Reeder/NetNewsWire) unless you implement and maintain API compatibility
- Push notification infrastructure and polished mobile behavior
- Ongoing feature improvements and content-updated diffs
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Feedbin, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
