In their own words
Flipsnack
Flipsnack turns PDFs or original designs into digital flipbooks with a page-turning experience. Publishers can add links, videos, forms, buttons, embeds, product tags, and pop-ups, while analytics track views, clicks, engagement, form interactions, time spent, and heatmaps. Its stated uses include product catalogs, marketing materials, internal communications, sales enablement, employee benefits, real estate, and training. Integrations include HubSpot and Salesforce, with materials also covering Zapier, Shopify, Google Tag Manager, APIs, and webhooks. Flipsnack runs in a web browser and has no desktop application for computers. iOS and Android reader apps remain available, but their development and support are paused; the apps do not support private flipbooks or SSO login. The free plan does not expire and allows five flipbooks of up to 15 pages each, a 100 MB PDF upload, and 250 one-time AI credits. Free downloads carry the Flipsnack watermark. Paid options include Student, Classroom, Starter, Pro, Business, and Enterprise; the listed starting price is $16/user/mo (annual).
