UP-TO-DATE Catalog vs Flipsnack
Flipsnack is the closest thing to us on features — and the furthest away on price and effort. It's a design tool you work in; we're a generator you correct.
No account needed — see your catalog first, sign up only if you like it.
What it costs to publish under your own name
Every tool here does the basics. The price gap opens up at the tier where a custom domain and your own branding appear.
Business is where Flipsnack's custom domain and full branding start. Lead forms and analytics begin at Professional, ≈€33/month.
The shape of the difference
The most complete catalog product of the four: a full design studio, product feeds from CSV, Shopify or a PIM, and a shopping list buyers can send as an order.
This chart is our opinion, not a benchmark — we drew both shapes. The checkable facts are in the table below, and every price links to their own page.

Three real differences
A generator, not a studio
They give you a canvas and a feed to map. We give you a finished magazine to correct. Both end well; one takes an afternoon.
The domain doesn't cost five times more
Your own hostname and branding is their ≈€73/month plan. Here it's €6.99–19, with unlimited catalogs.
Nothing to map
Their generator needs a feed you prepare and map. We read the storefront directly; CSV is only the fallback.
Two screenshots stitched together — their upload/import screen on the left, our "paste your store URL" field on the right. Shoot both at the same window width so the contrast in effort is obvious.
When Flipsnack is the better choice
- You want a proper design studio and are happy to lay pages out yourself.
- You sell products with many variants — size, colour, material — and need a variant-rich feed.
- You need several seats, Zapier, or an ERP-friendly order export as CSV.
