Guides

Choosing a tracker in 2026 mostly comes down to four questions. Is it free for the main features, with no limit on how many books you can add, or free only until you want stats? Who gets to see what you read? Is the mobile app a real app, or a website wearing a native shell?

Shelves tell BookPine what you own and what you want to read. Reading logs tell it what you actually read. Almost everything else in the app, including goals, statistics, streaks, and both calendars, is built from your reading logs rather than your shelves.

Moving away from Goodreads shouldn't mean losing years of reading history. BookPine imports your full Goodreads export: books, ratings, reviews, shelves, dates read, and read counts.
