Tome, another Goodreads booktracker rival, shuts down
Tome, a book-tracking app and book lovers community, is closing its doors. Built on the back of the sizable and influential BookTok community — creators who discuss and review books on TikTok — the app offered readers a place to chronicle and rate their books, get recommendations, and even add photos of things like favorite quotes or memes, or share playlists that match the book’s vibes. The app was now one of many that caters to a growing demographic of Gen Z readers who create book-related content on social media — a group that began mainly as women promoting their favorite “romantasy” titles, but has since grown to include readers of all types. But the space to leverage that community to take on the still-reigning book-tracking champ, Goodreads, may be a bit too crowded now. Tome, for instance, had to compete against several other booktrackers with a similar vibe, such as Fable, Margins, Bookly, StoryGraph, Bookmory, Pagebound, TBR, and others. (TBR’s app not to be confused with the book recommendations site TBR, which is also shutting down in June!) In a blog post announcing the closure, Tome hints at the competitive landscape, noting that its community of 100,000 readers wasn’t able to reach the scale needed to keep up with the expense of running a social app that supported memes, GIFs, and video. The company said that in the end the service “wasn’t financially viable to keep running.” Tome said that the app will officially shut down on May 29, at which point the app will stop working as the servers will have been shut off. The website will also shut down on the day, the company said. The post also advises Tome users on how to download their data, including posts and images, and a spreadsheet of their reading updates.

Goodreads vs StoryGraph vs Achriom: Book Tracker Comparison
Most readers default to Goodreads, get frustrated, and never look at the alternatives. The three trackers worth comparing each solve a different problem: Goodreads owns the social graph and review volume, StoryGraph delivers the cleanest metadata and stats, and Achriom puts your books in the same library as your movies, albums, and TV with an AI librarian that talks across all of them. If you want the biggest community and the most reviews, use Goodreads. If you want sharper data about pace, mood, and content warnings, use StoryGraph. If you want your reading life in conversation with everything else you consume, use Achriom. Plenty of readers run two at once. Last reviewed: April 30, 2026. What to look for in a book tracking app A good book tracker should cover at least three of these jobs well: Logging what you’ve read: shelves, dates, ratings, rereads Building a TBR: a to-read list you actually return to Discovering new books: recommendations, lists, friend activity Reading reviews: trustworthy opinions before you commit Understanding your reading: pace, mood, themes, patterns over time No single app nails all five. The breakdown below shows where each one earns its place. Goodreads Best for: Reviews, friend activity, the broadest book database Goodreads has been the default since 2007 and was acquired by Amazon in 2013. It has roughly 150 million members, which means almost every book published has reviews and ratings. The community scale is the product. What it does well: Massive review pool, even for older or niche titles Friends and feeds make following other readers easy The annual Reading Challenge is a real ritual for many people Choice Awards drive year-end discovery The limitation: The interface has not meaningfully changed in a decade. Recommendations lean on simple co-rating data, the search is famously rough, and the rating system is five integer stars (no half stars). Ads and Amazon cross-promotion sit throughout the experience. Free, owned by Amazon. StoryGraph Best for: Detailed metadata, mood-based recommendations, reading stats StoryGraph is independent, founded by Nadia Odunayo, and launched in 2019. It is a deliberate response to Goodreads. Reviewers tag mood, pace, character development, and content warnings, and the site uses that data to drive recommendations and filtering. What it does well: Half-star ratings and richer review structure Stats dashboard with genre, mood, pace, and page-count breakdowns Buddy reads and reading ...
