Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hightail at 4.1 against Flipbook Viewer's 1.4. Hightail also leads on ratings volume (645 vs 106) and review sentiment (13% vs 4%). Flipbook Viewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
