Stop hunting for RSS feeds. Start tracking companies.

Why teams move from Feedly to Distill

Feedly is great for personal reading lists. But for monitoring competitors, a traditional feed reader is broken.

• Catch the news that RSS misses

  Only 1 in 4 companies still publish RSS feeds. Relying on a feed reader makes you blind to 75% of your competitors' updates. Distill monitors websites, PR pages, and social channels natively so you catch everything.

• One event, one summary

  If a competitor makes an acquisition, Feedly shows you 40 articles from 40 different blogs. Distill groups all 40 sources into a single story card. You get the bulleted takeaways and move on.

• Out-of-the-box noise reduction

  Training Feedly’s AI requires complex boolean rules and constantly clicking "Like" or "Dislike." Distill categorizes news by importance automatically. Just toggle your feed to "Major news" to instantly hide routine updates.

A feed that respects your time

You shouldn't have to hire a librarian to manage your competitive intelligence.

• Spot the nuance instantly

  Distill groups all sources together. You can easily click to see how Bloomberg covered a story compared to the company's own official blog post.

• Stop saving, start sharing

  Stop saving articles to a folder to summarize later. Use Distill’s Custom Reports to turn a month of competitor moves into a formatted brief with one click.

• Keep it out of your inbox

  Push highly filtered, summarized updates straight to specific Slack channels. Build team context in real-time instead of forwarding emails.

Frequently asked questions

• Is Distill a direct replacement for Feedly?

  It depends on your goal. Keep Feedly for reading personal blogs or industry podcasts. But if you monitor competitors and market shifts, Distill is faster, creates less clutter, and finds sources you would otherwise miss.

• Do I need to find the RSS feeds for the companies I want to track?

  No. That is the biggest difference. Since 75% of companies skip RSS, Distill doesn't rely on it. Type the company name. We actively track their press pages, official blogs, LinkedIn feeds, and global media coverage.

• Why is grouping stories better than a standard feed?

  Feed fatigue. When a competitor makes an announcement, 50 news outlets write the exact same story. A feed reader makes you scroll past all 50. Distill shows you the event once, summarizes the deal, and nests the sources underneath.

• Can I try it before switching?

  Yes, Distill offers a free 14-day trial. Set up your watchlist and see exactly how much time you save compared to managing a traditional feed.
