@Elyse thank you so much for this thoughtful response!! It sounds like storygraph is better for pure book data tracking and goodreads is better for the reading community. I may have to check it out. Thank you again!
I use storygraph + goodreads. I agree with what Elyse said. The stats are super helpful and I feel like it gives me a more comprehensive view into my habits + types of books I'm drawn to. I also like that there are more label options - it makes marking something as a DNF easier than shelving something on goodreads. I personally use goodreads for the community aspect and storygraph to see all the stats and breakdowns - its cool to see all the stats evolve through the year

As for cons, there is a storygraph plus version where you can pay for more features, but I don't have that. I mainly use the storygraph app on my phone, so I don't have much experience with the desktop version. The app can sometimes freeze.
Storygraph has fewer people on it compared to goodreads, so you won't have as much interaction/reviews with various books. And to me, I like the way goodreads has their book reviews displayed both on the desktop and app. It seems a little bit more user-friendly.
I hope that's a little helpful!
