Aleph
vs The StoryGraph
The StoryGraph is known for recommendations and charts about what you read. Aleph is built around how you read — daily sessions, streaks, and goals.
Download appHabit data vs discovery data
Aleph records reading as it happens: this session covered 34 pages in 42 minutes. Over weeks that becomes a picture of your habit — the streak, the heatmap, your daily and weekly totals — that you can actually adjust.
If your main question is what to read next, a discovery-first tool will serve you better. If it’s how to read more consistently, session history is the data that answers it.
Using both
Plenty of readers choose books in one app and track the reading in another. Aleph doesn’t sync with other apps, so each keeps its own records.
Common questions
- Can I use Aleph and The StoryGraph together?

- How much does Aleph cost?
