How to get only new RSS items every day, without a per-run fee

Short answer: Lepidata’s RSS Feed Monitor charges $0.90 per 1,000 new items on every Apify plan, with no start fee. Items it has already sent you aren’t charged again.

What it does

Give it a list of RSS, Atom or RDF feeds. Each scheduled run returns only items that are new since the last run, as JSON you can send to a webhook, a sheet or your own app.

How the prices compare

Apify Store figures, checked October 16, 2026.

Tool	Monthly users	Price per 1,000	Per-run fee
Lepidata RSS Feed Monitor	new	$0.90 per 1,000 new items, every plan	none
RSS Feed Reader (automation-lab)	37	$1.15 per 1,000 items parsed on Free, down to $0.28 on Diamond	$0.035 per run
RSS & Atom Feed Reader (santamaria-automations)	36	$2.00 per 1,000 feeds parsed	$0.001 per run
RSS / XML Scraper (shahidirfan)	7	no per-item fee (Apify platform usage only)	none shown

These tools count different things (new items, items parsed, or feeds parsed), so compare on your own feed volume. On Apify’s higher plans, automation-lab’s item price is lower than ours. Prices change, so check each Store page before you choose.

Why “only new items” matters

If you check 50 feeds every hour, most items are ones you’ve already seen. A monitor that charges for new items only means repeat items cost nothing. Feeds that haven’t changed since the last run are free too.

Common questions

• Is there a per-run fee? No.
• Can I try it free? Yes. Apify Free-plan accounts can check up to 20 feeds and get up to 100 new items per run. Paid Apify plans get full results.
• Which feeds work? Public RSS, Atom and RDF feeds.

See the RSS Feed Monitor tool page for inputs, example output and limits.
