Where X-Relay wins
- Real-time, not polled feeds — RSS bridges refresh on an interval; X-Relay pushes instant alerts.
- Crypto enrichment RSS.app can't do: CA detection + DexScreener, reply/quote tracking, follow/profile/Spaces, auto-translate.
Where RSS.app wins
- General-purpose RSS — if you're aggregating many non-Twitter sources (blogs, news, YouTube) into Discord/Telegram, RSS.app is broader.
- Brand trust & ecosystem — large established no-code platform.

FAQ
Is RSS.app real-time for Twitter?
RSS.app refreshes feeds on an interval, so it's slower than a real-time tracker. X-Relay pushes instant alerts — important for crypto where the move happens fast.
Does RSS.app detect contract addresses?
No. RSS.app forwards feed items; it has no crypto enrichment. X-Relay auto-detects CAs and attaches DexScreener data.
Can RSS.app track replies?
RSS feeds typically carry main posts, not replies/quotes. X-Relay tracks replies and quote tweets in real time.
