THE VERDICT

Inoreader is the power-user reader. WorldLens replaces the mental synthesis.

Inoreader is what serious researchers use when they outgrow Feedly. Rules. Active searches. Custom dashboards. Keyword monitoring across thousands of sources. It's insanely tunable. WorldLens is a different shape: you don't pick the outlets, you don't write rules, you don't tune filters. You open a structured brief per event, already merged across 112 outlets, and read it once. Power users often keep both. Inoreader for niche feeds and keyword monitoring, WorldLens for the daily synthesis layer.
