About

Beanstack is an online reading-challenge and tracking platform that helps individuals, families, schools, and libraries track reading habits, organize reading logs, and gamify reading to build stronger reading habits and community engagement. It supports logging reading sessions (minutes, pages, books, or days) across formats, print books, e-books, and audiobooks, using tools such as a reading timer, an ISBN scanner, and progress trackers. Users can join reading challenges or readathons (e.g., seasonal, school-wide, or community challenges), earn digital badges when they meet milestones (like certain reading minutes or number of books), and potentially receive rewards or raffle entries depending on the challenge configuration. Beanstack supports individual readers, families, classrooms, or entire library communities; a single account can manage multiple readers, making it easy for parents, teachers, or librarians to oversee reading logs for children or students.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • BookFunnel is the place to go for authors looking to build a newsletter following. It has the best group promos with big-name authors in independent publishing. It also lets you deliver ebooks securely to ARC teams and readers. It also lets you build beautiful and professional-looking landing pages for your books.
  • I like the fact that Book Funnel collects email addresses for me for a reasonable price. It's also very low cost if you aren't interested in collecting email addresses.

Cons

  • Be aware that the least expensive tier of service is good for little except delivering ebooks. You can join group promos, but BookFunnel will not collect emails for you, so doing promos on this plan are pointless. So the only tier that's truly useful is the more expensive one. Even on that one, if you want newsletter integration, you'll pay extra on top. StoryOrigin gives you the equivalent of BookFunnel's lowest tier for free.
  • Some of my readers have found the download process to be confusing. I have frequently had to direct my readers to a You Tube video that explains how to download a book from Book Funnel onto a Kindle reader.
