Idukki vs Publitas
Publitas converts PDF catalogues into interactive flipbooks with product hotspots, and picked up interactive shoppable-video capability when it acquired Spott in 2023. Brilliant for catalogue-led retailers (Crate & Barrel and Williams-Sonoma run on it). Idukki ships catalogues + lookbooks + flipbooks too, but composed from your live UGC, not just static PDFs, plus the rest of the UGC stack.
| Capability | Idukki | Publitas |
|---|---|---|
| PDF → flipbook conversion | Yes | Yes |
| Lookbook / flipbook from native UGC posts | Yes | No |
| Product hotspots per page | Yes | Yes |
| Page heatmaps + click analytics | Yes | Yes |
| UGC galleries + shoppable video | Yes | Partial |
| Reviews aggregation | Yes | No |
