Get your most important feeds every 10 minutes
Most feeds can wait an hour, but some cannot. Boost the sources where minutes matter, and Inoreader checks them every 10 minutes so their new articles reach you first.
See pricing- ProYou can boost up to 100 feeds, and each one is checked every 10 minutes.
Get new articles within 10 minutes
A feed with Pro subscribers that has published in the last month is checked at least once an hour, which is enough for most reading. A few sources need more: a wire service, a job board, a status page, a competitor's press room or a sports feed during an event.
A 10-minute schedule
A boosted feed moves to a 10-minute schedule, so its new articles reach you within minutes of being published.
Faster updates for all subscribers
A boost belongs to the feed. Once one Pro user has boosted it, everyone who follows the feed gets the faster schedule.
Up to 100 feeds
Pro accounts can boost up to 100 feeds and change them at any time.
Alerts with rules
Together with a rule, a boosted feed works as an alert: a new article arrives within 10 minutes, and the rule emails it to you, posts it to Slack or sends a push notification.
Boost a feed
- Open the feed's information dialog from the sidebar, or find the feed in the Feeds list under Preferences, and look at its update interval.
- If the feed is not marked Real-time, click the boost icon. The feed is now checked every 10 minutes.
- To hear about new articles the moment they arrive, add a rule on the feed with a notification or email action.
- Keep track of your boosts in Preferences, under Billing and usage, and remove the ones you no longer need.
Use cases
Breaking news on your beat
Boost wire and agency feeds while a story develops, and let a rule push the matching articles to your phone. The edit history of each article shows what the agency added or corrected since its first report.
Job and tender boards
When applying first matters, boost the boards so their listings are checked every 10 minutes instead of every hour.
Status pages and release feeds
Boost the feeds of the vendors your team depends on, and let a rule send their new posts to a Slack channel.
Real-time feeds need no boost
Feeds that support push are marked Real-time in the feed information. They already deliver their articles as soon as they are published, so a boost adds nothing.
Frequently asked questions
How often does Inoreader check my feeds?
Every feed with a Pro subscriber that has published in the last 30 days is checked at least once an hour. Feeds that publish often are checked more often, and many publishers push new articles to us the moment they appear. A boosted feed is checked every 10 minutes.
How do I boost a feed?
Open the feed's information dialog from the sidebar, or find the feed in the Feeds list under Preferences, and click the boost icon next to its update interval. The boost applies from the next check.
How many feeds can I boost?
Up to 100 on Pro. You can see how many you have used in Preferences, under Billing and usage.
Does a boost help a feed that already says Real-time?
No. A feed marked Real-time pushes its articles to Inoreader as they are published, which is faster than any polling, so there is nothing to boost.
If someone else boosted a feed, do I get it too?
Yes. Once any Pro user has boosted a feed, it is checked every 10 minutes, and every subscriber of that feed gets the faster updates without spending a boost of their own.
Does boosting put a load on the publisher?
It adds one request every 10 minutes per feed, which is a light load for most servers. Boosts are still limited per account, so the extra requests stay small.
