Pricing you can work out in your head
Three building blocks, no hidden costs: a one-off setup, an annual platform fee for hosting and operation, and a fixed price per page for every production. You send the PDF – we do the rest.

Frequently asked pricing questions
In the first year: €490 setup + €1,188 platform + 100 × €2.90 (unlinked) = €1,968, or with links 100 × €4.50 = €2,128. From the second year you only pay the platform fee and the page price for new productions.
Your catalog runs all year: hosting in Germany, SSL, CDN, search, analytics, updates and support. These costs arise whether or not you are producing – so we charge them fairly as an annual flat fee instead of hiding them in the page price.
Unlinked: your PDF becomes an interactive flipbook with table of contents, full-text search and sharing. Linked: in addition we connect table of contents, ranges, articles, web and e-mail addresses to the matching pages of your website or shop – readers reach the product with one click.
Every production is charged by the pages actually produced – at the same page price as the first catalog. A new 48-page brochure costs 48 × €2.90 or 48 × €4.50, nothing more.
The platform runs for 12 months and renews for another year unless you cancel three months before the end. Productions are individual orders without a term.
No. flipaio is a full service: you send us your print PDFs, our team handles the entire production. No backend, no drag-and-drop, no learning curve.
From 500 pages per year volume discounts apply; from 2,000 pages we prepare an individual offer – likewise for multilingual catalogs, API access, white label or connections to PIM and ERP systems.
