Switch from follow.it: ongoing content alerts, tailored to you, no extra subscription
With Katteb, your own browser agent signs in and checks your chosen sites, reads feeds, filters content by your rules and emails you a tailored summary every day, just like follow.it, but run on your terms. See how it compares for news junkies, bloggers, brands or researchers.
follow.it or a Katteb goal, job by job
| The job | follow.it | Your Katteb goal |
|---|---|---|
| Follow any website or RSS feed | Browse or add feeds in follow.it; up to 1,000 on paid plans | Your agent opens sites or feeds directly in the browser, checks as many as your plan covers; no built-in directory, but any public site or feed you give |
| Filter by keyword, tag, or author | Set up rules for keywords/tags/authors; custom filter capacity by plan | Set your filters upfront (keywords, phrases, byline etc); agent applies them daily to the content found |
