Questions & answers
What stays free for everyone?
Everything social and everything for discovery is – and will stay – free for everyone:
- Tracking what you read, want to read, and have read
- Reviews, ratings, and reading goals
- Shelves, lists, and your reading history
- Following friends and seeing what they’re reading
- Discovering new books
What are you building for supporters?
We’re not gating today’s product behind a paywall. Supporters help us build what’s next:
- Highlight and quote tools that beat anything else out there for books
- Richer reading insights and stats
- Whatever the community tells us they need most
You’ll get early access as we ship.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Plus and Supporter renew yearly. Cancel from your Stripe receipt email or by writing to us – we’ll refund a recent payment if you forgot.
What if I can’t afford this?
Literal stays fully free. Tracking, reviews, shelves, friends, discovery – none of it is paywalled, ever. If you want to support but the price doesn’t fit, just write to us.
Do I get anything if I supported Literal before?
Yes. Existing Patrons keep all benefits forever. Existing monthly supporters keep their current plan and pricing as long as it stays active.
Is my payment secure?
Payments go through Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
