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, and has to add/delete individual pages, but is designed to upload your flipbooks to your own web server. For Publisher, 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. Note that you can upload up to 3 publications to our cloud; for more extensive use, we advise using FlippingBook Online.  

While in many important aspects they are similar, let’s look at some functional differences between them: 

Note! Not every plan of FlippingBook Online or edition of FlippingBook Publisher has all the features marked with “✔” in the table above. To see if a feature is available in a particular plan of FlippingBook Online or in an edition of FlippingBook Publisher, please, contact our customer support at support@flippingbook.com.
