Pubby was built for Amazon. Read & Rate was built for where readers actually shop: Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Audible, and Amazon.
Trusted by INDIE AUTHORS WORLWIDE: over 2,000 books, more than 5,000 reviews delivered, and Christian book reviewers among them
Every reader who finds you on Apple Books or Kobo sees a blank page. No reviews. No social proof. No reason to buy. You did the hard work of going wide, but your review platform is pulling in the opposite direction.
The real cost: A blank review page on Apple Books doesn't just lose one sale. It loses every sale from every reader who lands there and bounces because nobody else vouched for your book.

"Don't gamble your career. Upgrade to the professional standard."
These aren't minor features. They're the reason authors who go wide switch.
Apple Books. Kobo. Barnes & Noble. Goodreads. Audible. Your wide distribution deserves a wide review strategy. Read & Rate sends reviewers to the store they already shop, not just Amazon.
Every ARC is watermarked to the specific reviewer. If your book leaks, you know exactly who had it. That accountability changes how reviewers treat your work from day one.
Public reviews tell you what readers thought. Private reviewer comments tell you why. That honest, authors-only feedback is what separates authors who keep improving from those who guess.
Book Biometrics shows you exactly where readers disengage, what holds them, and how you stack up against Top 100 bestsellers in your genre. A 4-star review tells you something. Biometrics tells you everything.
We are the best book review site for authors targeting Audible, Apple Books, and Google Play. Supporting authors in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Italy, and many more.
Pubby is a real platform with a real community. If you publish exclusively in KDP Select and never sell anywhere but Amazon, it may be enough. But if you're building a career across platforms, if you want Apple Books readers to trust your page, if you care about Kobo and Goodreads, then you need a platform designed for that from the start. Read & Rate was built for you.
Everything you need to know before switching.
Build real social proof on Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Goodreads, and beyond.
