PilotflowsvsFlylogs

Pilotflows vs Flylogs

Both cover scheduling, logbooks, maintenance, and billing for aero clubs and schools. Pilotflows adds mass & balance, a free personal logbook, skydiving ops, and transparent per-aircraft pricing without email quotas or feature tiers.

What Pilotflows adds

Transparent Per-Aircraft Pricing

€19.99 per aircraft / month with scheduling, maintenance, and ADS-B logging included. Flylogs gates ADS-B radar, bases, theory, and SMS behind Premium (€940/yr) or Unlimited (€1,990/yr).

Mass & Balance Built-In

Real-time weight and balance with envelope protection. Flylogs stores W&B sheets as documents — it does not calculate CG for you.

Personal Logbook Included

Every pilot gets a Free personal logbook (150 hours or 50 jumps). Flylogs Free is an organization plan with aircraft and email quotas — not a personal logbook product.

No Quota Tax

No monthly email caps, no €390 API activation fee, and no €290/mo premium-support package. Flylogs bills extras per GB and per 1,000 emails.

Skydiving & Dropzone

Pilot logbook, hangar, flight school, and dropzone manifests in one account. Flylogs targets aero clubs and operators — no skydiving ops.
