Hardcover.app vs PagePact

Hardcover is a book tracking app with a social side, built for readers, not algorithms. Add books you’ve read or want to read. Keep your library tidy with lists and tags. See what your friends are reading, explore trending picks, and discover hidden gems through curated lists. Rate, review, and share your thoughts. Make your profile public, private, or friends-only—your reading, your rules. Set goals, track your stats, and find your reading rhythm.

PagePact is the reading tracker for people who take their books seriously, whether that means reading in quiet solitude or trading notes with a community of people who actually finish their books. If you've outgrown Goodreads or Storygraph, the move takes seconds. Import your entire library with one CSV upload and pick up exactly where you left off. Years of reading history, instantly yours. Track your reading life, your way. Log sessions as you go, write reviews or quick footnotes while the story is still fresh. Your library becomes a living record, not just a list of titles collecting dust. Ranking that actually works. Head-to-head matchups make it effortless to place every book against everything else you've read. No more staring at a star rating wondering if this one was a 3 or a 4. Your shelf sorts itself. A habit that works on your terms. Reading streaks and your PagePact—your personal reading commitment—are there when you want them. Ignore them when you don't. The app doesn't guilt-trip you for living your life. Solo or social. PagePact fits the reader you actually are. The Pact is home to readers who annotate, review, quote, and champion the books they love. Dip in when you want the social side: follow readers you trust, share footnotes, see what people are actually reading. Close the app and it's just you and your book. Both feel complete. Your shelf, your rules. Finally, a shelf that treats DNF as a real decision, reading sessions as real data, custom tags as real organization, and every edit to your log as your own business, not workarounds for a system that wasn't built for you. → Import your Goodreads library in one step → Log sessions and track your reading pace → Rank books head-to-head and review every finish → Write footnotes in the moment → Build streaks and set your PagePact → Follow readers, share quotes, and join The Pact when you're ready
