Thoughts on rss.app?

rss.app RSS Feed Generator, Create RSS feeds from URL

The #1 Source of RSS Feeds: Generate RSS feeds from almost any source and embed news feeds to your html website using JS or iframe widgets.

I'm trying to build up my feed using rss, but some sites just don't have it or doesn't let me filter through it as thoroughly as I want to.

I found this website, rss.app, that seems to be the solution to these problems, but I never really heard of this site before. Is there anything I should know about it?

I'm asking because the site requires you to make an account there to use it which asks for your name and email address and I don't want some random company spamming my email.

Isn't it a paid service? I think you get 7 days free trial.
- Yup. Its seems like it.
  Funny how any mention of it being a paid service is only at the bottom of the page.
  Does anyone know of any alternatives?
  
  RSS-Bridge is awesome

  There are public instances, but I think you could even self host it.

  I'm hesitant to recommend but https://fed.brid.gy/ makes feeds from websites that may or may not have RSS feeds. It works well with Tumblr for example.
  
  Yeah, I set it up to test it out and then I got an email saying I only had 3 days left. LOL

There are a few browser extensions that can detect RSS feeds, which can help when they're not advertised openly
Past that, this add-on was decent:

If you're into self hosting:
