Does Cabins Press replace BookFunnel?

Can I run ARC campaigns without a separate delivery tool?

Yes. Cabins Press ARC campaigns include reader caps, watermarked copies and download tracking, and readers read in the Cabins Press Reader app.

Cabins Press vs BookFunnel

BookFunnel delivers ARCs and ebooks to readers. Cabins Press covers that too, plus direct sales, newsletters, a website and print, in one place.

Where BookFunnel and Cabins Press differ

BookFunnel focuses on delivery: getting ARC and ebook files to readers securely, and it plugs into storefronts such as Payhip, Shopify and WooCommerce. Cabins Press covers ARC delivery too, alongside direct sales, newsletters, an author website and print, without needing a separate storefront or mailing-list tool.

BookFunnel is a mature, widely used tool for delivering ARCs and ebook downloads, and it works with many storefronts. Cabins Press builds ARC delivery into a fuller platform, with direct sales, newsletters, a website and print alongside it.
