Side-by-side

Monitor approved competitor publishing sources and organize new findings for review.
Source control
RSS reading is fast and familiar.
Teams choose the feeds, sitemaps, pages, and manual URLs attached to each competitor.

Is Content Radar a complete replacement for Feedly?
Not always. Feedly can remain useful for its core job. Content Radar is a better fit when the goal is structured competitor publishing monitoring, source health, candidate review, and team follow-through.
What source types can Content Radar monitor?
Content Radar works with public and user-approved sources such as RSS and Atom feeds, XML sitemaps, competitor blogs, changelogs, newsrooms, product update pages, resource hubs, and manual URLs.
Does Content Radar bypass logins, paywalls, or robots.txt?
No. It does not bypass access controls, CAPTCHAs, robots.txt, or restricted sources. The workflow is built around structured, public, user-provided, and user-approved sources.
Do new findings enter the tracked library automatically?
No. New entries and URLs enter a candidate queue so the team can review what is relevant before accepting it.
Can these approaches be used together?
Yes. Teams can keep Feedly for the work it handles well and use Content Radar for competitor source monitoring and review.
