What is CoverCrushing?

CoverCrushing is a book cover testing platform. Your cover designs go head-to-head in genre-matched voting and are scored by a five-perspective Hybrid Panel, so you can see which design wins — before you launch.

How much does a cover test cost?

First Crush is $5 for your first paid test, then $12. Single Cover Feedback is $7 and an A/B/C test is $19. New authors get one free A/B test. Your analytics report includes the Crush Score, vote breakdown, purchase intent data, and AI recommendations.

How long does it take to get results?

A test stays open until it reaches its vote target, and you get an email as soon as it is complete. Timing depends on the vote target and how fast votes come in, so there is no fixed turnaround. If a test has not reached its target within 72 hours, you can choose a free re-run or a full refund; request it within 14 days (refunds are reviewed by a person, not automatic).

Who votes on my cover?

Votes come from the CoverCrushing vote page, where voters pick the genres they read, so tests in those genres are shown to them first. A five-perspective Hybrid Panel also scores every cover, and your report keeps the two inputs separate.
