About The StoryGraph

The StoryGraph is officially positioned as an all-in-one platform for reading needs, helping users track their own reading and pick their next book based on their current mood and preferred genres and themes. Most features in the app will always be free to use, and there is a paid Plus plan that the official site says offers a more complete and more personalized experience; a subscription helps keep the platform independent and ad-free. Plus is priced at $49.99 per year (equal to $4.17 per month, with annual payment giving 2 months more than monthly billing) and comes with a 30-day free trial that cancels automatically when it ends; you need to subscribe manually to keep using it, and the trial requires no payment information.
