Redirect bot chat and channel bot
In short
Redirect bot does one job and doesn't pretend to be a Swiss army knife: it takes posts from other sources and drops them wherever you tell it. For a personal news feed that's plenty. Filters and pricing, though, aren't mentioned at all.
About the bot
The problem is familiar: lots of subscriptions, and reading them one by one is a pain. The bot pulls messages from several groups, channels and chats into one place, giving you a feed of your own without the noise.
The second use case is for admins. You can have posts from outside sources appear in your channel or group on their own. That's how curated digests are run, though reposting other people's material without asking may annoy them.
Control sits in the main menu, and there are hardly any commands. The description says it's easy to pick up, and the button layout backs that up. The bot speaks Russian and English.
What we couldn't find: keyword filters, editing text before it goes out, delayed posting, and whether extra sources cost money if there are limits at all. You'll find out once you add your first source.
