Elyse I use storygraph! I like how it gives more stats about what you've read. It'll show you how many books you've read, how many pages, the pace of books, etc. And it'll even show you what kind of "mood" most of the books you read fall into. You can also give quarter star ratings (3.25, 3.5, 3.75, etc.) which is really nice. You have more options how to rate a book too. It'll ask about what kind of mood the book has, pacing, if the book is character- or plot-driven, character development, loveable characters, and you can add written text just like goodreads.
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!

Aberdeen @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!

Bella Fuenzalida 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
