BetaReader.io is a reader and feedback management platform that reveals what your readers really think about your book. Share your manuscript securely with real readers, and analyse their feedback and reading data to improve it before publishing.
This looks awesome, congrats on the launch! I’m curious about your revenue model, I didn’t see any pricing on the site. Are you planning on charging Authors, readers, or both? For authors, are you picturing them having readers read first drafts before editing, or fully ‘finished’ manuscripts?
PS nice touch with the text Rickroll in the screenshots ;)
@willdages thanks for the feedback!
The pricing table is there now: http://betareader.io/pricing

This is better than alternatives because readers can insert line by line comments. It's better for writers because they can discover and measure how users are interacting with their material. (Why do 50% of my beta readers stop at chapter 3?)
Pros:
Great way for readers to participate in the creative process of storytelling.
Cons:
A few bugs here and there. Some site navigation could be improved.
Super excited to launch BetaReader.io – a platform that reveals what your readers really think about your book.
We let authors and publishers privately share their manuscripts with real readers, and then analyze the feedback and reading data to improve it before publishing.
