Yes. I actually switched to <a href="https://feedbin.me" rel="nofollow">https://feedbin.me</a> in April and never looked back. 2$/month. I am super satisfied so far. And it even works with Reeder for iPhone! (support for Mac and iPad is coming)<p>Feedbin will be down today though. They are getting new servers. See <a href="http://blog.feedbin.me/2013/06/27/feedbin-server-move/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.feedbin.me/2013/06/27/feedbin-server-move/</a>.
I wouldn't - the news of the Google Reader shutdown made great opportunity for many nice RSS/news readers to be born; so I would just switch, there are plenty of good alternatives now.<p>I actually use Feedly now - its perfect for me.
In hindsight, I'm glad they shut it down. I've discovered so many alternatives. Like others in this thread, I've opted to go for Feedly. I like how it syncs across my desktop, mobile and tablet.
newsblur isn't exactly like google reader, but it's likely close enough for your question.<p>Here are the stats that show when logged into newsblur as of this post:<p>Premium (Paid)Users: 7,534<p>Standard (Free) Users: 11,387<p>So it looks like 11,387 folks would at $24/yr (USD).
