Overview & Highlights

Major Deal Highlights

  • One-time price from $49 for lifetime access
  • Four tiers, from 500 to 8,000 RSS feeds
  • Monitoring feeds for uptime, SSL, and domains included
  • Deal for brand-new follow.it users only
  • Vendor operating since 2016 with a prior AppSumo deal

follow.it (opens in new tab) for Readers is a feed reader plus monitoring hub. Follow websites, blogs, RSS feeds, YouTube channels, and podcasts, plus specialised API feeds for uptime, SSL and TLS expiry, domain and WHOIS changes, broken links, backlinks, Google rankings, WordPress plugin and theme updates, social mentions, GitHub, prices, and weather, then filter everything and receive updates by email, RSS, Telegram, Slack, Discord, browser push, or mobile alerts.

The AppSumo deal has four lifetime tiers: Tier 1 ($49) maps to the Hello plan with 500 RSS feeds, 10 number feeds, 10 course feeds, 5 AI summaries a day, and 500 AI-filtered messages a month; Tier 2 ($99) maps to Basic with 1,000 feeds, 25 number and course feeds, 20 summaries a day, and 2,000 filtered messages; Tier 3 ($199) maps to Standard with 3,000 feeds, 50 number and course feeds, 50 summaries a day, and 5,000 filtered messages; Tier 4 ($299) maps to Pro with 8,000 feeds, unlimited number feeds, 100 course feeds, 100 summaries a day, and 10,000 filtered messages. AppSumo marks Tier 3 as recommended. This is the Reader deal launched 28 September 2026, not the older follow.it (opens in new tab) for Publishers listing.

Of 113 AppSumo reviews, 100 are 5 tacos, 11 are 4 tacos, and 2 are 2 tacos. The vendor's regular reader plans cost $5, $10, $20, and $40 per month for Hello, Basic, Standard, and Pro, but no yearly price for the same plans is listed, so no yearly regular price is stated here. follow.it (opens in new tab) is run by Inisev of Balzan, Malta, has operated since 2016, and previously ran an AppSumo deal for follow.it (opens in new tab) for Publishers.

  • AI summaries and processing turn stories into brief digests

Considerations (Cons)

LTD Explorer verdict

Our verdict

Worth it

Worth it for anyone drowning in sources they must follow: Tier 3 ($199) is AppSumo's recommended tier with 3,000 feeds and 50 AI summaries a day, while Tier 1 ($49) fits a light reader at 500 feeds, though its emails still carry ads. Reviews are very positive (4.85 tacos), but the vendor says it sometimes rewards buyers for leaving a review, so weigh the score with care; AI allowances are hard caps, so test your heaviest feeds inside the 60-day refund window.
