Introducing TroveScore Patron

Starting today, you can become a TroveScore Patron. It's a membership for people whose library has outgrown the free account, and for people who want their Showcase to look like nobody else's. TroveScore stays free to start, and everything you've built stays yours.

What You Get as a Patron

Everything in the free account, plus the things that make TroveScore feel like your own:

Room for your whole library

Scan up to 75 shelves a day and keep up to 2,000 books. Bigger library? Get in touch.

A Showcase that looks like you

Every theme, wallpaper and piece of decor. String fairy lights along your shelves, let waves roll behind your books, or set a candle flickering beside your favorites.

Every year you've read

Look back on any year of your reading, not just this one, and share your Year in Books with no TroveScore line on the card.

Little things that add up

Private notes on any book, for your eyes only, and wishlist prices that appear the moment you save a book.

Wear it proudly

A gold Patron badge on your profile and Showcase, and Patron trophies that grow with every month you stay.

And whatever comes next

We're still building. New Patron features arrive as they're ready.

All of it for $1.99 a month, or $9.99 a year, about the price of one paperback (US dollars, tax included). Patron starts in the US and Canada, and you join on the website, from any browser, desktop or phone.

Founding Patrons. For launch there's a founding offer, shown on the pricing page while it lasts. Its discount stays for as long as you stay a Patron, and joining with it earns you the Founding Patron trophy, which is yours to keep.

What Stays Free

Most of TroveScore is free: photographing a shelf, prices and the sell, donate or keep suggestion, listing on eBay, finding a library or school for your donations, Book Check, your Showcase page (with three themes, three wallpapers and a few pieces of decor), this year's reading page, and every reading trophy. Trophies are earned by reading, never bought.

What changes today is that free accounts now have a scan limit and a book limit. They're set well above what most people use, and the numbers are on the pricing page (and how limits work explains the details).

The limit never deletes a book. If your library is over the free book limit, the extra books are hidden, not removed. They come back when you make room or become a Patron, and downloading your whole library as Excel or CSV stays free forever.

Make Your Shelf Yours

A Showcase is your collection on a page anyone can visit, and with Patron it can look like nobody else's. Here's what that can look like:

A Showcase of Halloween reads on a midnight-blue wall, with fairy lights strung along the shelves and a witch, a skeleton, an owl, a coffee and a lit candle between the books — Halloween reads, with fairy lights and a few spooky friends

A Showcase of children's books on a dark wall with rolling waves, a year-so-far reading goal at the top, and a snake plant, a witch, an owl, a candle, a lemonade and a succulent on the shelves — A children's library, with rolling waves and a reading goal on the way

Try it for yourself: Pick a color theme, put a few pieces of decor on the shelf, and drag them between the books. Anything with a crown comes with Patron.

Fantasy

Mystery

Theme

Decor · tap to add, drag to move

On your own Showcase, pick a theme in the Trove's Showcase tab, and arrange decor with "Arrange decor" on your Showcase page. Signed out, you can try the free themes on your preview.

Why We're Doing This

TroveScore is a small team. Every scan calls an AI model, every price comes from live eBay data, and every Showcase is served to whoever visits it. Patron is how we pay for that while keeping the free account genuinely useful. If TroveScore has helped you sort a shelf, sell a stack or keep track of your reading, becoming a Patron is the most direct way to keep it going. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TroveScore still free?

Yes. Scanning, prices, the sell, donate or keep suggestion, eBay listing, Book Check, your Showcase, this year's reading page and every reading trophy are part of the free account. Free accounts have a scan limit and a book limit; the current numbers are on the pricing page.

What happens to my books if I'm over the free book limit?

Nothing is deleted. Books past the limit are hidden, not removed, and they come back when you make room or become a Patron. They are always included when you download your library.

What happens if I stop being a Patron?

The Patron extras switch off, and everything you made with them is kept. Your Showcase goes back to a free look, but your theme, wallpaper and decor choices are saved and return if you rejoin. Private notes stay readable. Nothing is deleted.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, in Settings. Cancel within 24 hours of a charge and that charge is refunded in full. The full refund policy is on the pricing page.
