Frequently Asked Questions

We will delete feeds after 7 days on the free plan if not used (reading in RSS reader or accessing with HTTP requests). And we are never deleting an RSS URL if you have a Pro account
It depends on your account type. Please check our prices for more details.
The most common reason is a lower refresh rate of your RSS reader. Some RSS readers don't pull feed updates as often as we do. And even if we're refreshing the content according to your subscription plan, your RSS reader may have a lower refresh rate. That's why you can get updates with a delay. Unfortunately, we can't control the work of third-party software. All we can do is update the feed in time. And it's up to the RSS reader to show you those updates as soon as they are available.
Of course! All you need to do is generate an RSS feed with our service and put the result URL into your HTML file.
To support auto-discovery by most RSS readers, your HTML should look like this:

<html>
<head>
...
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://fetchrss.com/rss/[ID]">
...
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

Also, consider using our paid subscription to improve your readers' user experience.
You can use FetchRSS for free. However, if you need more functionality, we offer several paid plans. The differences between plans are shown on our prices page.
Yes, we do have an annual subscription. After you select a plan on the plans list page and click Upgrade, you'll be redirected to a subscription purchasing page. There you can choose a payment cycle (monthly/annual) and check the yearly price.
Annual subscriptions usually have a discount.
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time. There are no fees or additional charges.
To cancel your subscription, please log in to your account. Then visit the prices page and click the "Unsubscribe" link.
Alternatively, you can delete your account if you no longer need it. In this case, we'll cancel your subscription automatically.
To cancel the auto-renewal of your subscription, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the plans page.
  2. In the section for your current plan, click "Unsubscribe".
  3. A confirmation pop-up will appear. Click "Downgrade" to confirm your cancellation.

After that, your subscription will be canceled. But your current plan will remain active until the prepaid period ends. And it will not be carried over to the next cycle.
All your payments are listed on the payments page.
If you subscribed with PayPal, you can also find them in your account at PayPal.com
To do this, please go to your payments and click on the "Change" button at the bottom of the page.
You can still create feeds, but they will be disabled until you decide to upgrade to a plan with more feeds. If you already have a paid subscription, you won't be upgraded automatically. You have to do it yourself when you decide. Once you've upgraded, your disabled feed will become enabled automatically.
To update your payment details, please go to this page. Then, resubscribe using the new information.
These new details will be used in all upcoming payments.
Please check if this page is rendering the required content dynamically. Unfortunately, our service doesn't understand JavaScript.
The short answer is no, you can't.
Our service can only access publicly available data. We don't have the functionality to read protected pages.
If this is your site, you can add our scraper IP (163.172.52.49) to an allowlist so it can access your content without any restrictions.
One function of Cloudflare is to protect the page from access by bots/scrapers like FetchRSS. We respect the site owner's right to block the scraping services' access and won't bypass this restriction. Unfortunately, our service cannot legally extract content from this site.
If our bot can’t access your content, your site’s scraper protection may be blocking it. To fix this, simply whitelist our IP address: 163.172.52.49. This will allow our bot to crawl your site correctly.
This feature is in development. So please send us a link to your site, and we'll make sure it works in your case when the feature is ready.
Unfortunately, we don't have any discounts. We're trying to keep the prices as low as possible so that as many people as possible can use our service. At the same time, we need to maintain the infrastructure and invest in the development of new features.
All your current subscription details and renewal quotes are listed on the plan page.
This message is part of a free plan subscription. If you purchase any of the paid plans on the prices page, we'll remove this message from all of your feeds.
