My first online catalogue was produced with flipsnack. I liked that you could easily register via facebook.

I’m on a budget – that’s why I choose YUMPU Publishing. The service has a lot of cost free features! I can only recommend it guys.
December 26, 2016 at
I totally agree with you steven. YUMPU Publishing offers a lot of features in their free plan. For many of those features you have to pay if you use other online publishing tools.
December 26, 2016 at
Thanks for the tipps everyone! I will give it a try with YUMPU Publishing. Sounds legit.
December 28, 2016 at
It’s great that you are able to choose your own template design! Love it!

So hard to decide which tool to choose :-O!! they all sound great!!! Flipsnack has some cool features but I tend to use YUMPU Publishing as I heard some good reviews about it. I let you know how it went!
December 30, 2016 at
I would love to hear your about your experiences and I am sure other readers will be happy to hear about those too! Good luck and happy working!

I used flipsnack but I now I’m ready to check out another online publishing tool. YUMPU Publishing sounds pretty good though.

Martim, I worked with many online publishing tools like flipsnack, YUMPU Publishing and Joomag. All of those have their pros and cons. You can easily test them all for free and decide who’s your favorite to work with. Personally speaking, I like to work with YUMPU Publishing – but that’s only my personal opinion
January 2, 2017 at
Does anyone know if you can create your own url with other publishing tools like joomag or even YUMPU Publishing?
January 3, 2017 at
I thought it was pretty rad to create your own url!

I’ve just had a closer look at Flipsnack and it’s very easy to work with. I was actually surprised they’ve made things this easy. I think I’m going to like them.

Their registration process is top notch and you’ll be set in no time. I’ve tried other similar sites and the registration process was more difficult.
January 2, 2018 at
Anne, Flipsnack was indeed a pleasant surprise when I tested it.
Jason M., it’s one of the easiest registration processes I’ve seen to date.

Tried Joomag, Flipsnack and YUMPU Publishing and the last one is definitely the best of the bunch. It’s free and it has more features than the others.
January 13, 2018 at
I first had a look at Flipsnack when a friend recommended it to me. I was happy with what it could do until I heard about YUMPU Publishing and since that was free I wanted to try it. Fell in love with YUMPU Publishing and I’m using it ever since.
January 13, 2018 at
Diane, agreed. YUMPU Publishing is the best.
John, YUMPU Publishing can have that effect on people :))
January 22, 2018 at
YUMPU Publishing is probably better than anything on the market right now. I tried at least 8-9 different ones and neither can reach the level of quality, speed, features that YUMPU Publishing has.
January 22, 2018 at
Flipsnack makes the whole process of getting an account up and creating a flipbook very, very easy. I think small children could do this without breaking a sweat.
January 23, 2018 at
Peter, I have tested more than 12 different ones and YUMPU Publishing is better than all. Of course there are some features that YUMPU Publishing may not have and other flipbook creators may have, but that still doesn’t mean YUMPU Publishing is not the best.
Logan, yes, it’s super easy to set up an account.
January 30, 2018 at
It’s impressive to see what both Flipsnack and YUMPU Publishing can do. I probably like the last one better but Flipsnack also has its own appeal and I can see why some people may prefer it.
January 30, 2018 at
From what you’ve described, this Joomag alternative (been using Joomag for a few days and I can’t say that I am 100% happy with it) seems like it could be better. Will have a look shortly.
January 30, 2018 at
Briana, yes Flipsnack is the choice for some people, while others swear by YUMPU Publishing.
Alexander, have a look at both Flipsnack and YUMPU Publishing and choose the one you like better
