Who FlippingBook is good for

FlippingBook is a well known flipbook maker and a solid one. Its pricing page says every flipbook is ad-free on every plan. Its limits are big: up to 500 flipbooks on Advanced, up to 2,000 pages per flipbook and files up to 1 GB on its higher plans. It offers a 14-day free trial with no card, and a full refund if you ask within two business days of paying. It also has extras FlipWild doesn't, like audio tracks, quizzes, Zapier and an API on Advanced, and a separate desktop product, FlippingBook Publisher, for offline flipbooks.

If you publish hundreds of long, heavy files and your team already knows the tool, it is a reasonable place to stay.

Who FlipWild suits better

FlipWild fits people who want the same kind of page-turning flipbook for less money, and who share it with more than one person on the team.

  • Lower price on each of the four plans. Each FlipWild plan costs 20 to 30 percent less than the FlippingBook plan it lines up with on yearly billing, and the gap is similar month to month.
  • More people per plan. FlippingBook lists 1 user on Lite, Starter, Optimal and Advanced. FlipWild Plus includes 2 people, Pro 5 and Business 10, with more at $10 a month each.
  • Embed and links from the first plan. FlippingBook Lite has no website embed, and adding your own links starts at Optimal. Every FlipWild plan has embed code, keeps the links already in your PDF, and lets you draw more links and page jumps.
  • Made for phones. FlipWild works in your phone's browser, no app store needed: pick the PDF from Files, Google Drive, Dropbox or a mail attachment, then edit and publish there. Readers on phones see one page at a time and swipe. On computers they see two-page spreads.

When to stay with FlippingBook

  • You need files bigger than 200 MB or longer than 500 pages.
  • You want to try everything for 14 days before paying, or you want a refund window. FlipWild has no trial and no money-back guarantee.
  • You need offline flipbooks from a desktop app, Zapier, an API, audio tracks, quizzes or SSO.
  • Your flipbooks need a grace period: FlippingBook says flipbooks keep working for 14 days after a subscription expires. When a FlipWild plan ends, the flipbooks stay saved but their links stop working until you pick a plan again.

Moving from FlippingBook to FlipWild

  1. Upload the same PDF. You can make and preview the flipbook for free before paying. Web links, email links and page jumps already in the PDF keep working.
  2. Publish and swap the links. Your old FlippingBook links won't redirect to FlipWild, so update them on your site, in emails and in your bio. Printed QR codes that point to the old flipbook will need a new code.
  3. Replace the PDF from now on. When the next edition is ready, replace the PDF in FlipWild. The link, embed code, QR code and reading stats stay the same, so this is the last time you swap links.

Keep FlippingBook running until the new links are live, then cancel. If you would like help rebuilding a flipbook with video, buttons or forms, our done-for-you service can do it for you. See how a finished one looks in our catalog example, or compare more makers in flipbook pricing.
