Flipbook pricing,
every maker compared.
As of November 2026, entry flipbook plans run from about $5 a month billed yearly (Heyzine Standard, Simplebooklet Basic) to $24 (Paperturn Starter). Flipsnack starts at $14, FlipWild at $15 ($19 month to month), FlippingBook at $20 and Issuu at $21. The bigger gaps come later: the plan where the maker's branding goes, where lead forms start, and whether you can get a refund.

Where each feature starts, sorted by price
The entry price matters less than what you pay for the feature you need. As of November 2026, on yearly billing:
- Lead capture: Heyzine $9, Simplebooklet about $16.67, Publuu $24, FlipHTML5 $25, Flipsnack $38, FlipWild $74, FlippingBook $93, Issuu $188, Paperturn $384.

FlipWild sits in the middle for lead capture and domains, and near the top for passwords. Where it comes out ahead is against the higher-priced makers: Pro is 20% under FlippingBook Optimal on yearly billing and includes 5 people, while FlippingBook Optimal, Flipsnack Pro and Paperturn Growth each include one user.
Picking the right price
- If you want to spend nothing, Heyzine and Flipsnack have free plans that publish.
- If you need one flipbook once, FlipWild's Buy just one is $29 with no subscription.
- If you want to pay month to month, note that Heyzine Standard and Simplebooklet Enterprise are yearly only, and refund windows are short almost everywhere.
