Issuu's Essential plan is $27/mo billed annually ($35/mo monthly). The Optimum plan is $59/mo annual ($79/mo monthly). Issuu has raised prices five times since 2019, from $5/mo to $27/mo — a 440% increase.
Does FlippingBook have a free plan?
No. FlippingBook has no free tier. Their cheapest plan is $65/mo and covers only 3 flipbooks. Pricing scales per-publication, which makes it expensive for teams with large catalogs.
