Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Crew Call at Free against Flight Logs's $0.99. Crew Call also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 52%). Flight Logs's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flight Logs holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Logs has 64 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Flight Logs's written reviews are positive against 86% of Crew Call's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flight Logs ships an update every 4 days, Crew Call monthly. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
