Pillar guide

Looking for a Goodreads alternative?

Most readers leave Goodreads for one of three reasons: the interface, the ads, or the fact that everything is public. This guide compares the main alternatives honestly and shows how to move your library without losing a single rating.

Decide what you are replacing

If you use Goodreads for crowd reviews and friends, a private tracker will feel empty — keep it for browsing. If you use it as a log of what you read, almost anything else will feel better. Whatever you pick, check it imports and exports CSV: that is your escape hatch if you change your mind again.
