What a year of Issuu costs
Issuu’s prices are per month, but the yearly option is paid for the year. Over twelve months:
- Starter: $252 a year billed yearly, or $372 billed monthly.
- Unlimited: $2,256 a year billed yearly, or $3,228 billed monthly.
- Issuu for Teams: from $5,004 a year billed yearly, or from $7,140 billed monthly.
Is Issuu free?
Yes, with limits. Issuu’s free Basic plan allows 5 published documents, 10 pages per upload, 50 MB per file. That suits trying Issuu with a short document; a longer catalogue or magazine needs a paid plan.
Which Issuu plan do you need?
- Starter is the step up from free: unlimited published flipbooks, larger files, links and videos inside flipbooks, and 30-day statistics.
- Unlimited is the plan for brands: it removes external ads, adds your logo and colours, a lead form and selling flipbooks, with no document, page or file-size limits.
- Issuu for Teams is for organisations: several users, private workspaces, single sign-on, and it removes Issuu’s logo.
Issuu is at its strongest when you want people to find your publications: it is a public platform with its own readers. If that audience matters to you, it is worth paying for.
