Comparison

Goodreads alternatives

If Goodreads no longer works for you, here is what each alternative offers and who it suits. Pecia is on the list, with what it does and what it doesn't.

Checked on 13 October 2026. These tools change often: if something doesn't match, write to us.

How to choose

Do you want a community or a private diary? StoryGraph, Hardcover, Literal and BookWyrm have a community; Lomos is the private one.
Do you prefer a phone app or the web? Mistbook is mostly an app; Librish and Lomos have web and app; Pecia works in the browser.
Do you want to track what you read, or also what you own? Lomos, Libib and Pecia also keep the home library; StoryGraph and Hardcover focus on what you read.

Pecia: what it does and what it doesn't

What it does

Keeps what you read, what you own and what you want to read in one library, paper and ebook.
Imports your Goodreads or StoryGraph library, or adds books by scanning the barcode or photographing your shelf.
Your wishlist shows the best second-hand price in Spain, shipping included, and tells you when it drops.
Suggests what to read next from what you already have.
It's free. The beta is by invitation.

What it doesn't

It isn't a social network: no public profiles, followers or clubs.
It doesn't have phone apps yet, nor widgets or an Apple Watch app: it works in the browser.
It has no streaks, challenges or badges.
Prices are from bookshops in Spain for now. The library works from any country.
