Pilotflows vs Safelog

Both offer cross-platform logging, authority-ready exports, currency tracking, digital signatures, and import from other logbooks. Pilotflows adds native mobile apps, a modern UI, METAR/TAF at log entry, ADS-B tracks, skydiving logging, a more generous free tier, and dedicated SafeLog import.

What Pilotflows adds

Modern UI/UX

A clean, fast interface built for how pilots work today—not legacy desktop software patterns.

METAR/TAF at Log Entry

Real-time weather integration when logging flights. Safelog does not include built-in METAR/TAF.

ADS-B Flight Tracks

Fetch flight tracks from ADS-B data automatically. Safelog has no ADS-B integration.

Skydiving Logbook

Dedicated jump logging for skydivers. Safelog is fixed-wing oriented.

Generous Free Tier

150 flight hours free vs Safelog’s limited trial entries. More time to evaluate before upgrading.

SafeLog CSV Import

Migrate your existing Safelog data with dedicated import support—no manual re-entry.
