Digital catalog software: how to choose a system for your business?

What should you really compare?

With a digital catalog it is easy to fall in love with the page-flip effect, but most of the business value lies in other questions: can you edit it yourself, do Hebrew and RTL work correctly, can the customer send an order or inquiry, can you embed it on your website, and is there data that shows what works.

So the right comparison is not just between the names of systems, but between the actual workflow the business will get.

Where is flipo different from digital catalog systems?

• Hebrew first: flipo was built for the Israeli market with a Hebrew interface, right-to-left flipping and RTL support.
• WhatsApp as part of the catalog: not just link sharing, but inquiries and orders from within the pages.
• AI and a self-service editor: you can start from a PDF, a website, files or a catalog from scratch, and then edit it yourself.
• Israeli support: language, working hours and a business context that suit customers in Israel.
• Transparent pricing in shekels: a clear annual subscription, without calculating dollars, international packages or unexpected add-ons.

Which solution suits whom?

Digital catalog systems can suit those who are mainly looking to publish a flipbook and are fine with an international interface. flipo is a better fit for an Israeli business that wants a Hebrew catalog, self-service control, WhatsApp sharing, AI capabilities, a branded address and a process that continues after the PDF upload.

If your catalog is a sales tool and not just a booklet to read, it is worth paying special attention to the action components: product buttons, forms, QR, sharing of selected pages and statistics.

Checklist before you decide

1. Open a sample catalog on your phone and check readability.
2. Check Hebrew right-to-left flipping.
3. Try to update a page or price yourself.
4. Check how sharing on WhatsApp looks.
5. Ask what happens when you need support or an urgent change.
