Pagebound vs Pagely

Pagebound combines old-school internet forums with robust book tracking—every book has its own forum. We are indie, anti-AI, and built by 2 women. Discuss books as you read them, view reading stats, and earn points & badges for tracking your reading. EXPERIENCE SOCIAL READING Read with others, without the commitment of a book club. Whatever you’re currently reading, post thoughts, theories, ideas, reactions, and more to that book’s forum. Sort posts by % read to read along with people from all over the world. Anyone with that book in their library will see and can interact with your post, so it’s really easy to start discussions and make new reader friends. VIEW READING STATISTICS & WRAPUPS Everything you log on Pagebound powers robust reading statistics and monthly wrapups. Look back at your reading habits across beautiful charts and graphs. Share your reading progress at the end of each month with summary views. GAMIFY BOOK TRACKING Earn badges that reflect your reading taste by joining Quests. Accumulate points for logging your reading, sharing your thoughts, and contributing to the community. Showcase your badges on your profile and unlock fun rewards. ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY Plan your TBR (to-be read) by month or year. Rate books in half-star increments with sub-ratings for enjoyment, quality, characters, and plot. Track your books accurately with Interested, Paused, and DNF (did not finish) reading statuses. Mute books, track tandem reads, and more. MAKE READER FRIENDS Connect with other readers solely based on what you think and read. With anonymous profiles, no algorithm, and private follower counts, we connect readers based on shared taste in books, not clout. Terms of Use: https://support.pagebound.co/terms_of_use

Pagely is a calm, beautiful home for everything you read. Track the books you're reading right now, remember where you left off in each one, and keep a running list of what you want to read next — all in an app designed to feel like a well-kept reading journal, not a spreadsheet. MADE FOR REAL READERS Most of us have more than one book on the go. Pagely is built for exactly that — follow several books at once, each with its own progress, and update your current page in a tap. ADD A BOOK IN SECONDS Just start typing a title and Pagely finds it for you, filling in the author and page count automatically. No barcode hunting, no manual data entry. SEE YOUR PROGRESS, FEEL THE MOMENTUM Every book shows a progress ring and how many pages remain. Finish one and it moves to your shelf — rated, dated, and remembered. YOUR READING, IN NUMBERS A gentle stats view shows your reading streak, pages read this week, books finished this year, and a 14-day reading chart — plus a breakdown of your favorite genres. KEEP IT ORGANIZED Sort books into a wishlist and your finished shelf, tag them by genre with smart suggestions, add private notes and quotes, and mark your favorites. YOURS, AND PRIVATE Pagely keeps your library on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking — just you and your books. Choose light, dark, or system appearance to match your mood. Whether you're a one-book-a-month reader or always juggling a stack, Pagely helps you read a little more — and enjoy every page of it.
