By Shelfies · Editorial approach & corrections

Compare the focus of Shelfies, Goodreads, and StoryGraph, with official sources and practical questions to ask before moving your library.

Published by Shelfies, the maker of the app. Comparisons reflect that commercial interest; check linked product pages for current pricing and features.

This comparison is published by Shelfies, so we have an interest in our own app. It is a guide to different approaches, not a controlled performance test or an independent ranking.

Goodreads: community and book discovery

Goodreads provides book recommendations and ways to see what friends are reading. If your friends and reviews are already there, that network may matter more than another app’s interface.

StoryGraph: reading statistics

StoryGraph’s optional Plus plan adds custom charts, filters, and comparisons between statistics. It may suit you if exploring reading patterns is your priority. Check its current product pages for the features included in each plan.

Shelfies: a digital bookshelf with AI tools

Shelfies combines book shelves, progress tracking, timed sessions, notes, and AI tools. See the timer tutorial and AI recommendations guide for practical details and limitations.

Questions to compare before switching

• Can you import the data you want to keep?
• Does the app work on your preferred devices?
• Which tools require a paid plan, and what does your local checkout show?
• Do you want social discovery, detailed charts, or a private reading log?

Shelfies is available on Android and the web, with an iOS waitlist. Check download options and the current app plan before deciding. Keep your existing library until you have checked the imported fields.
