Apps similar to LibraryThing include Goodreads, which is free. Other options are BookWyrm, Open Library, StoryGraph and Hardcover. There's no shortage of Social Networks like LibraryThing, with more than 100 alternatives for the web, iPhone, Android, iPad and self-hosting.







Though readers have cultivated vibrant online communities through BookTok, Youtube, and Goodreads, these platforms aren’t meeting our basic needs. Goodreads (owned by Amazon since 2013) suffers from dated tech and an inflexible rating system.



SageChimp is the Goodreads replacement readers have been waiting for. Free forever. AI-matched recommendations, shelves, reviews, book clubs, forums, and blogs. For authors: ARC distribution for $9.99 versus NetGalley's $575, plus free newsletter tools and an author dashboard.




Seekquel is a book tracker for readers who want more than a list. Organize your library, get recommendations tuned to your exact tastes, and read alongside friends who share them.



ShelfLife is a visual bookshelf app that allows you to track and organize books you've read. You can arrange your books on digital shelves and share your collections on social media.



The Books Oracle is a reading tracker and discovery app built around the Oracle, an AI guide that learns your taste and explains why each book it suggests fits you. It's a Goodreads or StoryGraph alternative for readers who want recommendations that feel personal instead of...




Book tracking app that replaces Goodreads. Track your library, save highlights, share shelves, and see what smart people are reading.

Bookseer recommends books based on who you are right now, not on what you read before. You answer a questionnaire about your current state of life, and the Oracle returns three books with a personal explanation of why this book, why you, why now. One reading per week.
