BookBub alternatives for KDP authors

BookBub is wonderful when you get it, and plenty of authors don't. The feature can be a no, the fee can be more than you want to spend, or the book can be the wrong fit. You still have a sale to run.

This page is every other promo site in PromoFinder. Use it to build the rest of the week. Put a wide site on the day the price drops, then a genre site while the book is still cheap. These sites aren't promised to match BookBub's reach. They're other places readers hear about deals.

Look at the price on the card when you have a budget. If a card says See site for pricing, open the site and check the fee. A letter on a card is an Indies Today grade, not a score from us. Prices change, so check the site before you pay.

How to choose

  • Match the card to your deal. Free means readers pay nothing. Discounted means a sale price such as 99 cents. Some sites do both.
  • If you have a budget, start with the prices you can see and skip anything that starts too high.
  • Prefer a genre that fits the book. A site that takes every genre can fill a gap.
  • Open the site before you submit. The card is a starting point, not a booking.
