Built your site on Manus? You don't need this plugin. Your CoverCrushing badge is already available as a native component — just drag it onto your page from the component library.

Quick Answers

Is the Chrome extension free?

Yes, completely free. It requires a CoverCrushing account, which is also free to create.

Does the WordPress plugin slow down my site?

No. All API responses are cached as WordPress transients. The API is only called during cache refresh, not on every page load.

I built my site on Manus — do I need the plugin?

No. If you built your site on Manus, the CoverCrushing badge is available as a native component. The WordPress plugin is only for self-hosted WordPress sites.

Both tools are free for all CoverCrushing members.

No credit card. No upgrade required. Just install and go.

You're in the Crush Club

You're one of our founding members

We launched just days ago and we're still working out the kinks. CoverCrushing is a complex platform with many moving parts — cover uploads, reader matching, vote collection, analytics, and more — and we're committed to making every piece work perfectly. Please be patient with us as we roll this out, and know that we will make everything right.

You're in the Crush Club

As an early adopter, you've been automatically enrolled in our Crush Club — our inner circle of founding members who get priority support, early features, and special pricing. We're building a community of book lovers and want everyone to have a great experience.

Our refund promise

If anything goes wrong with your test — technical issues, delays, anything — just email us and we'll make it right. If a refund is needed, it will be processed within 48–72 hours, though your bank may take additional time to post it. No questions asked.

Your feedback shapes the product

We read every email and take every suggestion seriously. Customer feedback is crucial to us — if something feels off or could be better, please tell us. You're helping build something authors will rely on for years, and we look forward to providing the best possible experience.

Be kind — we're all in this together

CoverCrushing is a supportive community for authors and readers alike. We ask everyone — on the platform and on social media — to treat each other with respect and encouragement. Unkind behaviour, profanity, or harassment will result in account suspension. Let's build something we're all proud of.
