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.
