You want a tracker. You've seen Backloggd recommended on Reddit. You found WListDB and you're wondering if it's worth a switch. Short answer: it depends on what you do after finishing a game. Long answer below.
The basics they both nail
Search a game, mark it as playing/completed/dropped, give it a score, write a review, follow other players. If that's all you need, both tools work and either is a fine choice.
Where WListDB pulls ahead
Steam import in one click. Backloggd makes you add games manually or one at a time. WListDB connects to Steam, pulls your library, and pre-fills your backlog. If you've owned Steam for 10 years, this is the difference between "started tracking today" and "never bothered".
Windows auto-tracker. The free desktop app records playtime automatically across 7 stores on the same account. Backloggd has no native client — hours stay manual.
Custom lists that you actually use. Build a "Couch co-op weekends", a "Indies under 5 hours", or a "Backlog priority 2026". Make them public if you want; the URL is shareable.
Release calendar with hype tracking. Mark a game as hyped and get notified the day it launches or the day a confirmed date drops. Backloggd doesn't have this.
Public roadmap you vote on. See what's being built, vote on what you want next, suggest new features. Backloggd ships when it ships; WListDB ships what you ask for.
Where Backloggd is stronger
Backloggd has been around longer, has a bigger review community, and its social feed is more active right now. If your main reason to track is to read other people's takes on niche RPGs, Backloggd's existing community is hard to beat.
The honest tradeoff
WListDB is built for the person who treats their backlog like a project: import, organize, prioritize, ship. Backloggd is built for the person who treats games like a film diary: log, rate, scroll friends' lists.
Both are valid. Pick the one whose default behavior matches yours.
How to try WListDB without commitment
Sign up free, hit the Steam import, and look at your backlog 30 seconds later. If it clicks, keep going. If it doesn't, you've lost a coffee's worth of time. Your data stays exportable either way.
