3 Best WordPress RSS Feed Plugins of 2025

In this post, I show their strengths, their weak spots, and the details that matter. By the end, you’ll know which plugin works for your needs!

Let’s get started with the master comparison table first! I like those things for people in a hurry who just want a recommendation fast:

Feedzy RSS Aggregator

Feedzy is a the most popular RSS plugin in the repo. It works as both a feed display tool and an autoblogging engine, which pretty much covers all the use cases that most people want out of their RSS plugin.

The free version of the plugin already lets you add unlimited feed sources and show items anywhere using shortcodes, widgets, or a Gutenberg block. You can also set up automatic post publication based on items from the feed – aka. autoblogging.

You can pick how many items to show, toggle author, date, or excerpts, set caching intervals, and cap title length. Feedzy also fetches images for lists and can use a fallback image when a feed has none. It plays nicely with page builders like Elementor, too.

Upgrade to Feedzy Pro to also be able to fetch full text RSS content – always. Even if a feed only includes an excerpt, Feedzy can visit the source link and pull the entire article content and images into your post.

Pro also includes a paraphrasing tool and AI integration to rewrite or summarize on import. You also get keyword filtering, automatic translation, affiliate link helpers, and text spinning options through WordAI or SpinnerChief.

Pricing follows a freemium model. The main plugin is free on WordPress.org. Then, Feedzy Pro starts at about $99 per year for one site, with higher tiers that vary by site count and support.

Support and maintenance are strong. Feedzy is always actively updated for the latest WordPress versions. Premium customers receive priority support through Themeisle’s portal. The plugin holds a long track record, and 50,000 active users with the rating of 92% at the time of writing.

Use Feedzy if you need a versatile RSS solution that can both show feed content and import it as posts. The interface is clean and easy to learn, and it really makes serious autoblogging and curation practical.

Why choose it over the other two?

• Combines free feed display (shortcodes, widgets, blocks) and free feed-to-post. WP RSS Aggregator needs Pro for feed-to-post; WPeMatico has no built-in display.
• Pro adds full-text import, paraphrasing, and AI integration to rewrite or summarize on import.
• Pro includes automatic translation.
• Elementor-friendly setup and premium templates make styling fast.

WP RSS Aggregator

WP RSS Aggregator is a well-known plugin for collecting, importing, and showing RSS or Atom feeds on your site. It runs on 50,000 sites. The main plugin is free and lets you add unlimited RSS sources which you can then display with a shortcode or a block.

The interface is clean and easy to follow. Pick how many items to show. Toggle title, date, author, excerpt, and thumbnail.

However, if you want to turn feed items into real posts, you’ll need to upgrade to a Pro plan. Then, the Feed to Post feature imports items as WordPress posts or any custom post type. Choose full content or an excerpt. Set the post status to publish or draft. Again, the free version does not create posts.

Pro also adds full text RSS. Much like Feedzy – if a feed only offers a summary, the plugin can visit the source URL and pull the full article content, formatting, and images. It can add source credit for attribution.

You get strong control features with this plugin overall. You can filter items by keyword to include or exclude content. Organize sources in folders. Use manual curation to approve or reject items before they appear. Even pull video feeds for YouTube or Vimeo. Use spinner integrations, and more.

Pricing is freemium. The base plugin is free. Pro starts at about $79/year, but to get the feature of importing as posts, you’ll need to pay at least $149/year (for one site). For the “Full Text RSS” feature, that’s at least $179/year.

The team ships regular updates, you get a knowledge base, FAQs, and premium users get ticket support. The plugin has been around for a while and is known for stability.

Why choose it over the other two?

• A central hub lets you review items, remove duplicates, and approve or reject before display.
• Pro display templates add grids, excerpts with thumbnails, and video embeds.
• Auto-discovery finds feed URLs from a site address.

WPeMatico

WPeMatico is a free RSS/Atom autoblogging plugin that turns feed items into WordPress posts. It focuses on feed-to-post, not front-end feed lists.

You set up campaigns with one or more feeds, and the plugin checks them on a schedule and publishes new items as posts on your site.

The core plugin is strong. You can group multiple feeds in a campaign, assign categories, and format titles and content with templates. It pulls media from items, including images, video, and audio, and can set a featured image. Scheduling is flexible. It uses WordPress cron and lets you set per-campaign intervals down to minutes.

You can also use server or external cron if you need tighter control. Feed auto-discovery helps you find feed URLs by entering a site address. You can prepend or append text to posts, strip unwanted HTML, set authors, and disable comments.

Keep in mind, though, there’s no built-in shortcode or widget to “display a feed.” This is, again, primarily an autoblogging plugin.

Full articles are possible with the Full Content add-on. It visits each source page and scrapes the complete article, plus formatting and images.

Add-ons deepen control with this plugin overall. The Professional add-on adds keyword filters, custom field mapping, richer media parsing, and tag stripping. Synchronizer keeps imported posts updated or removes them if they disappear from the source. Polyglot translates posts using third-party translation APIs. There are many more of those add-ons, btw. This is overall great, but it can also make using this plugin up to its full abilities a bit costly. Speaking of which:

Pricing is modular. The core plugin is free. Bundles start with Essentials at about $80/year – including the most key add-ons. If you want to, you can also get add-ons one by one. The prices range from $19 to around $70. Then, if you want the highest tier bundle, that’s about $310+.

Support is active. Documentation, tutorials, and WordPress.org forums are available, plus there’s a paid helpdesk if you go for any of the premium options. The plugin has a long track record, a 96% average rating, and steady updates.

Why choose it over the other two?

• Per-campaign scheduling to the minute and external cron give tighter control.
• Synchronizer add-on updates or removes posts when sources change.
• Imports images, video, and audio, plus templating, HTML stripping, author and comments controls, generally built for heavy autoblogging.

What’s your ideal WordPress RSS plugin?

If you go to WordPress.org or even Google, you’ll quickly find out that there are many more RSS plugins available for WordPress. However, as I was testing them, the features are often lacking or the UI is really difficult to follow. The three options presented here truly are the top solutions available.

Here’s one final take on what makes each of them suitable:

Feedzy RSS Aggregator: Combines free feed display and free feed-to-post (unique!). Pro adds full-text import, paraphrasing and OpenAI tools, translation, filters, templates, and more. This is great for sites that both show feeds and auto-publish posts.

WP RSS Aggregator: The free core plugin displays feeds, the Pro adds feed to post, full text, display templates, filters, folders, a central Hub, and more. It’s good for a polished, well-managed content aggregator.

WPeMatico: The free version of the plugin is built for autoblogging with per-campaign scheduling and rich media handling. There’s no built-in feed list. Add-ons like Full Content, Synchronizer, Polyglot, and more, let you create a powerful, customized content scraping and syncing setup.

Are you using any of the options presented here or is there something else worth talking about? Let us know if there’s anything we missed.
