The StoryGraph turned stats and moods into a tracker readers love. Here is where Seekquel goes further, and where StoryGraph still leads.
StoryGraph is stats-first and quiet on social. Seekquel matches the stats, logs from KOReader and Readest, and adds clubs, buddy reads and game-like progress, with a layout and privacy you arrange.

StoryGraph gives everyone the same screens. In Seekquel you build the home screen from more than thirty cards and arrange your stats page and profile the same way. Visibility is around twenty separate settings, not one public-or-private switch, and the community stays on its own tab.
StoryGraph rates in quarter-stars, free. Seekquel rates in half-stars free, tenths on Pro, and adds five axes beside the overall score: writing, characters, plot, atmosphere and impact.
Stats are StoryGraph's signature. Seekquel's free dashboard has totals, streaks, genres, formats and books per month; pace, the heatmap and mood charts are on Pro. Both keep their most advanced charts for paid plans, so compare the free dashboards.
StoryGraph added likes on reviews in 2026 and comments in October 2026, though social stays light by design. Seekquel has a feed, following, buddy reads, clubs with nominations and voting, and direct messages.
Seekquel has home-screen widgets for your current read, streak and up-next queue. StoryGraph has none yet. Seekquel also adds badges, a monthly bingo card and a lifetime plan next to monthly and yearly. StoryGraph Plus is subscription only.
