MagLoft review
A publishing platform for branded apps, subscriptions, analytics, and reader CRM.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MagLoft is digital publishing software for print and PDF publishers, agencies, enterprises, and marketing teams. It converts PDFs into responsive HTML and supports publication across the web, iOS, Android, and Apple News. Website embedding, sharing, subscriptions, issue sales, memberships, lead-capture forms, reader analytics, SEO tools, and offline reading make it suited to publishers building a broader digital content business rather than only displaying page-turning PDFs.
Pricing is organized around Starter, Professional, and Tech Studio. Starter costs $199 per month and includes a Progressive Web App, issue subscriptions, single-level subscription options, single-user access, a custom domain, and advanced analytics. Its annual option is $1,990 and includes web app publishing, one publication/title, unlimited issues, unlimited storage, and a branded Web App. Professional costs $499 per month or $4,990 annually, adding Progressive Web, iOS, and Android apps, subscriptions for issues and articles, tiered subscriptions, multi-user access, role-based permissions, advanced analytics, push notifications, and branded publishing. The pricing FAQ states that annual subscriptions provide two months free. Tech Studio covers custom development, custom integration, and bespoke implementation.
MagLoft’s ecosystem supports Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Stripe, Apple News, Zapier, and WordPress. Its platform coverage and payment options fit publishers that need branded distribution, audience acquisition, and subscriber management in one system. The feature set also extends beyond publishing through cohort segmentation, lead capture, CRM, and offline issue downloads. However, the starting price makes it a considered purchase for smaller publishers, and Starter does not include native iOS and Android apps or tiered subscriptions. Choose MagLoft when app publishing, recurring subscriptions, and audience data are central requirements; choose a simpler flipbook product when basic PDF presentation is the primary need.
