Holigram and Letterboxd, Goodreads and Vivino
Letterboxd is for films, Goodreads for books, Vivino for wine. Holigram keeps all three, and dozens of other kinds of things, in one private place. Here's what each does better, and when one app for everything is worth it.
Is there one app for films, books and wine?
Holigram keeps films, TV, books, wine and 60+ other kinds of things side by side, and its assistant answers across all of them at once. Letterboxd, Goodreads and Vivino each go deeper in their one domain, with large public communities, reviews from strangers and catalogs of their own. You can use one of them and Holigram together.
How does Holigram compare with Letterboxd, Goodreads and Vivino?
The difference is breadth against depth. The table puts Holigram beside the three apps together, naming which one a fact belongs to. Their column comes from each app's own pages and App Store and Google Play listings, as of 10/22/2026; all four products change, so check anything that decides it for you.
| Holigram | Letterboxd, Goodreads, Vivino | |
|---|---|---|
| What it covers | Films, TV, books, wine and 60+ other kinds of things, side by side | One domain each: films, books, wine |
| Community | None in public: you share with people you choose, one collection at a time | Large public communities with reviews, lists and followers; Vivino counts 70 million wine lovers |
| Adding something | Describe it and the AI drafts the entry for you to check; reading a photo is on a paid plan | Search their own catalogs; Vivino reads a label or a restaurant wine list from a photo |
| Bringing your history | A Goodreads export imports directly into Books; for other apps, a CSV imports once its headers match your fields | Letterboxd and Goodreads export your history as CSV files |
| Asking questions | Across everything at once, such as a wine for the film you're watching, from your own entries | Within one domain; Vivino's AI sommelier draws on your wine history |
| Ads and selling | No ads, nothing for sale | Letterboxd's free tier shows ads, which Pro removes; Vivino sells wine from merchants in the app |
| Cost | A permanent free plan; paid prices aren't published yet | Free to use; Letterboxd offers Pro and Patron, and Vivino offers Premium |
| Apps | Web, which installs to your home screen, and iPhone | iPhone and Android apps for all three |

When is a single-purpose app the better choice?
When the community is the point. Reading strangers' reviews, following people whose taste you trust, browsing lists, or seeing a wine's average rating before you buy: that's what Letterboxd, Goodreads and Vivino are built around, and Holigram has none of it in public. Vivino's label scanning, its wine shop and the three apps' Android versions have no Holigram equivalent either.
When is Holigram the better choice?
When your tastes don't stop at one app. Holigram keeps films, books and wine beside your sizes, your recipes and your gear, so one question can reach all of them: dinner, a wine and a film for tonight, planned from what you keep. Everything starts private, you decide what any outside assistant may read, and every read is logged.
It's also yours to take with you: every collection exports as JSON, free on every plan, and you can edit or delete any entry. How your data is handled.
Can I keep using them alongside Holigram?
Yes, and nothing about Holigram asks you to leave. Keep reviewing and following people where you do now, and add the films, books and wines that matter in Holigram by describing them in a sentence. The AI drafts the entries for you to check, and Holigram's assistant can then answer across all of them.
A Goodreads export imports directly into your Books collection: import your Goodreads library covers the steps. A Letterboxd or Vivino history imports as a spreadsheet once its headers match your fields and its dates read like 2024-02-10. How Holigram reads a CSV covers headers, value formats and what gets skipped.
