Both of these platforms are book-tracking platforms used by millions of people to track what they read, the reviews, recommendations, and goal settings, and share with others. Goodreads has been people’s go-to platform for years but there are issues or lack of features which has led people to consider switching to a different platform.
‘StoryGraph is super in tune with analytics. It tracks the genres you’re rating most favorably, authors you’ve liked, and even the types of stories you are reading. All of this data is then presented to the user clearly, and with easy-to-navigate charts to help you find your next favorite book.’
Both platforms have some similar features they ‘allow you to create custom shelves, track your reading, and review your latest read’ as well as help you find other books you would like. They both however do this in different ways as Goodreads does this by how popular the book is and StoryGraph platform by your reading choices.
‘The website and the app for both StoryGraph and Goodreads to see which was the most user-friendly in this regard’ talking about how easy it is to find a book you would like.
‘Storygraph was by far a lot easier to manage overall. It was intuitive, fast, and updated quickly while Goodreads was a little clunkier.’ this writer found that StoryGraph is easier to use and manage overall.
‘It’s also worth noting that I’ve been a Goodreads user since 2016, so I have experience navigating the app, and I still found Storygraph the obvious winner.’ after experiencing both there is still a clear winner for her.
‘Goodreads is easily the best at this. They do have the unfair advantage of having been around longer, so they have more users tagging more books, but it is so much easier to find specific books in niche genres through Goodreads.’ Here she is talking about how easy it is to find what you're looking for with Goodreads as it has been set up a lot longer so is very established which is one of its best qualities.
‘StoryGraph has an easy way to move your Goodreads catalog over to its database. It only takes a couple of minutes! So, if that’s what’s holding you back from making the switch, you don’t even have to worry about it.’ StoryGraph has made it incredibly easy to switch over so everyone will not lose the data that they have collected for years.
Overall, the better app is StoryGraph is it has the ability to do so much more than Goodreads is currently offering its only downside is that it still needs more time and users to perform the best it can.
