Page Pace vs StoryGraph.
Two great tools for two different jobs. Here's the honest difference, so you can pick the one (or both) that fits how you actually read.
Quick answer
The short answer
StoryGraph tracks what you've read. Page Pace plans what you'll read next. If you want mood-based recommendations and detailed stats on books you've finished, StoryGraph is excellent. If you want a daily page target, a deadline, and a plan that recalculates when you miss a day — that's Page Pace.

When StoryGraph is the better choice
- You want a richer library of stats — pace, mood, pages over time — for books you've already finished.
- Recommendations matter more than deadlines. StoryGraph's mood-based engine is genuinely good.
- You enjoy a social reading feed, buddy reads, and challenges with friends.
When Page Pace is the better choice
- You have a finish date. Book club Sunday, a flight, an exam, a self-imposed deadline. Page Pace gives you today's number.
- You've fallen off plans before. When you miss a day, Page Pace recalculates from where you actually are — no growing pile of overdue pages.
- You're reading with a group. The book club schedule generator splits any book across any date range and emails the plan.
- You want one calm number per day. Not charts, not streaks — just "read this much today, you're good."

Frequently asked
- Is Page Pace a replacement for StoryGraph?
- Not exactly. StoryGraph is built around tracking what you've read and getting mood-based recommendations. Page Pace is built around finishing the book you're reading right now — daily pace, deadlines, and a plan that adjusts when life happens. Many readers use both.
- Does StoryGraph have a reading pace calculator?
- StoryGraph shows reading stats and progress over time, but it doesn't tell you how many pages to read today to hit a specific finish date. That's the core thing Page Pace does.
- What happens in Page Pace when I miss a day?
- Your plan recalculates from where you actually are — no scolding, no growing 'overdue' counter. You'll see your updated daily number for the days you have left. Reading should never feel like a chore.
- Can I import my StoryGraph or Goodreads data?
- Yes. Page Pace supports Goodreads CSV import, and a StoryGraph CSV importer is on the roadmap. You don't have to abandon your reading history to try a deadline-based plan.
- Is Page Pace free?
- The calculators and a single active reading plan are free forever. Pro unlocks multiple simultaneous plans, recovery suggestions, and email/push nudges.
