Most ARC tools help you find readers and hand out copies. ArcRoster is about what happens after — who actually reviews, who to trust next launch, and who leaked your book. Here's the honest comparison against each.
Booksprout gives away copies to a shared reader pool with light tracking. See how ArcRoster adds reliability scoring, a roster you own, and leak attribution.
Read the comparison →StoryOrigin is a broad marketing suite. See how ArcRoster goes deeper on the ARC workflow — scoring, CRM, and fingerprinted copies instead of stores and promos.
Read the comparison →BookFunnel delivers ebooks beautifully but stops at delivery. See how ArcRoster adds accountability and traces a leaked copy to its exact recipient.
Read the comparison →The honest three-way breakdown: reader discovery versus accountability, and where each tool actually fits in your launch.
Read the comparison →Most ARC platforms are built around distribution — finding readers and getting a file into their hands. Booksprout leans on a shared reviewer pool, StoryOrigin bundles ARC delivery into a broader marketing suite, and BookFunnel is a polished delivery tool that stops once the download completes. They're good at handing out copies. Where they leave off is everything that decides whether a launch actually works: who reviewed, who to trust next time, and who leaked your book.
ArcRoster is built for that second half. Reliability scores follow each reviewer across launches, your roster is a permanent CRM you own rather than a pool you rent, and every EPUB is fingerprinted to its recipient so a leak can be traced to a name. The comparisons above are honest about where each tool fits — read the one that matches whatever you're weighing ArcRoster against.
We're opening ArcRoster to the first 100 indie authors. Free during beta, early pricing locked in for life — in exchange for telling us what to build next.
