Every reading feature, for everyone, permanently - nothing moves behind a paywall later. Reading should belong to everyone, not just people who can pay for it.
Access without conditions
Every reading feature is free, permanently. No trial windows, no usage caps disguised as “fair use,” no feature quietly moved behind a paywall later.
Attention is sacred
ReadAwesome never sells attention to advertisers and never manufactures urgency to extract money. Donation UI stays out of the reading surface entirely.
Support without pressure
Donations are invited, never demanded. No guilt copy, no nagging, no interstitials standing between a reader and their book.
Equal reading, unequal contribution
A supporter and a reader who has never given a dollar get exactly the same reader, the same speed controls, the same Shared Read access.
Frequently asked
Is ReadAwesome really free forever?
Yes - every reading feature, for every individual, with no trial period and no future paywall. That's a permanent commitment, not an introductory offer.
What do I get if I donate?
Our thanks, a spot on the Thank-You Wall if you want one, a few cosmetic extras like themes and profile flair - and the knowledge that your gift is funding someone else's free reading, the same way yours is free. Nothing that changes how you read.
How does ReadAwesome make money?
Voluntary donations from individuals, and paid plans for schools, companies, and other organizations that need management tools - never from individual readers.
Will my school or company reading be tracked and sold?
No. Institutions pay for reporting on their own members' progress, not for data about them to be resold - ReadAwesome doesn't have an advertising business to sell it to.
