Should I use FlippingBook Publisher or FlippingBook Online?
We offer two different products to create flipbooks: FlippingBook Online and FlippingBook Publisher. Both can help you create online flipbooks with a realistic page-flipping effect, and you can easily share them with your customers. However, depending on your goals, you might find that one of the products suits you better.
FlippingBook Online is a web-based app for creating and delivering flipbooks to your customers. It works in all popular browsers on PC or Mac without any software installation. With a low learning curve, you'll create your flipbooks quickly and effortlessly.
FlippingBook Online is subscription-based. As long as your subscription is active, your flipbooks will be active.
FlippingBook Publisher is software for Windows. It makes the same great flipbooks as Online does but has more customization options for branding and design, fine-tune different media options, and is designed to upload your flipbooks directly on your web server.
To use it, you pay a one-time fee for a license, and you can create as many flipbooks as you like. Further payments are only needed if you want to renew Support & Updates (the first year is provided for free) or use our cloud. You can find more detailed information in the article about FlippingBook Services.
While in many important aspects they are similar, let’s look at some functional differences between them:
