In their own words
FlipbookPDF.net
FlipbookPDF.net converts PDFs into online HTML5 flipbooks readers can open through a shareable link. Readers can drag pages, zoom, and navigate with the keyboard; A4 and A5 formats are supported. Users can edit a flipbook’s title, description, logo, and background, then share it by link or embed it on a website, including WordPress. Flipbook files can be downloaded as ZIP archives and uploaded to personal hosting; downloaded copies can be opened offline in a browser. The site describes support for PC, MacOS, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. PDFs must be PDF/X or flattened, use pages of the same size, and be no larger than 100 MB. The free plan permits up to three PDFs of 40 pages each, but downloads are limited to 15 pages. PRO costs $45.90 a year and BIZ costs $76.90 a year; both are one-off payments without auto-renewal. Hosted PRO/BIZ flipbooks have monthly visit and bandwidth caps.
FlowPaper
FlowPaper converts PDFs into mobile-friendly interactive flipbooks and web publications. Its browser viewer compresses graphics and loads only the pages currently visible. The desktop publisher adds links, images, galleries and video from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia or self-hosted locations. Publications can be hosted on FlowPaper Cloud or self-hosted; the company says self-hosting has no publication-count limit. A JavaScript API exposes methods and events for integrating the viewer into an application or webpage. FlowPaper supports page-by-page Google Analytics tracking, while higher plans list heatmap and engagement analytics. The Free plan costs nothing and includes cloud hosting, FlowPaper branding and publishing for 90 days. Zine costs $75, paid once, Creative costs $85 a month, and Enterprise costs $995 a year. Cloud publication quotas vary by plan: Zine has 50 and Creative has 75, while the services-account FAQ lists 500 for Team and Enterprise accounts. The listed platforms include web, desktop, mobile and self-hosted options.
