feedly provides a great way for you to read and organize the content you find on the web. With feedly, you can easily share, save, and tag stories. With feedly Pro, you get even more features. View all of the features of feedly Pro here. We’ve summarized some of the biggest ones below.
01. Better Search: search for a person, product, brand, or event on desktop
When you’ve upgraded to feedly Pro, you get all the features of Power Search, which includes filters that allow you to search for specific stories. We allow you to search within your feeds, which is useful for reading within the sources you follow and trust, and beyond your feedly, indexing the most popular sources on the web.
We have a full tutorial on everything on you can do with Power Search, including integrating Google News feeds and Google Alerts, which puts a new story in your feed corresponding to your Google News search or Google Alert.
Power Search also works on mobile, with the exact same technology and filters you get on desktop.
02. Better Sharing: share a collection with a teammate or friend
As a feedly Pro user, you’ll have access to our newest feature, Shared Collections. You can create your own profile and share collections with your friends, teammates, and following. You’ll have your own alias (your own personal URL) and can add a profile and cover photo. You can also edit which collections you wish to make public. We’ll have a full tutorial on Shared Collections out in just a bit.
03. Better Sharing: schedule the content you want to share on social networks
Scheduling social media posts is great for pushing great pieces of content to your Twitter and LinkedIn without overflowing or spamming your contacts. Buffer and Hootsuite work great to schedule posts, and these two tools are integrated directly in feedly Pro. To use this scheduler with feedly Pro, you’ll first have to set up a Buffer or Hootsuite account and connect it with your social networks. We will soon present a full tutorial on sharing.
04. Better Integration: one-click save to Evernote
feedly is especially useful for finding interesting content to use in projects. You can connect your feedly Pro account to Evernote to improve your productivity. You can do this simply with two clicks, without even having to open up your Evernote.
Similarly, we’ve just launched OneNote integration. We’ll have a full tutorial on saving stories out soon, where we’ll teach you everything you need to know about saving with OneNote, Evernote, and all of our other saving tools.
05. Better Integration: use IFTTT to automatically send a tagged story to Google Drive, Slack, or WordPress
IFTTT integration with feedly is a powerful attribute of feedly Pro. IFTTT allows you to connect your feedly with hundreds of other web services. There’s a full tutorial on what you can do with IFTTT, but here are some of the most productive use cases for professional users.
- Add saved stories to a Google Spreadsheet
- Get videos marked “Watch Later” in YouTube sent to your Saved For Later in feedly
- Send stories with a particular tag to a specific channel in Slack
With feedly Pro, you can also connect to Zapier, a tool similar to IFTTT.

06. Get new content faster
Now that you’ve upgraded to feedly Pro, we’re automatically polling your feeds 10x more frequently. There are two different types of sites: those with Push protocol and those with poll protocol. Sites with push protocol push new stories to feedly as soon as they’re published. Sites with poll protocol don’t automatically update their feeds with new content. When feedly polls your feeds, it goes to the original source to see if there is new content. This ensures that you get the freshest content in your feedly from all of your sources. This is all done automatically, for your benefit.
