Twitterfeed v Dlvr.it

Both are great services. Recently, we had a close look to see really how good they are.

Twitterfeed.com

PRO

- Free plan are available.
- Unlimited number of sources and destinations for free plan.
- Update is fast and updating frequency is much more than scheduled.

CON

- No control of what really passed to Facebook.
- When original link URL are same, it will be flagged as "no new feed", and won't be able to pass to both Twitter and Facebook.
- When prefix or suffix contains shortened URL, which would be regarded as same URL, it won't be able to pass to Facebook.

Dlvr.it

PRO
- Free plan are available.
- Able to choose as Shared Link, Status or Note with Facebook. 
- Able to attach fixed thumbnail image, or let Facebook to use Open Graph image.

CON
- Only allows 5 sources and 2 destinations for free plan.
- Update is much slow than scheduled.

Conclusion:

If you want a better control, use dlvr.it, especially for Facebook. If you have too many RSS sources, or want a fast update, use Twitterfeed. Overall, dlvr.it is much better.

    1. Dlvr.it is better. Because Twitterfeed does not have control over the thumbnail passed to Facebook whatsoever. Even for Twitter, Twitterfeed does not allow the same linked URL.
