# CloudAhoy vs Pilot Logbook

The clearest difference is rating: Pilot Logbook at 4.4 against CloudAhoy's 3.5. Pilot Logbook also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (182 vs 34). CloudAhoy's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudAhoy sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Pilot Logbook sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pilot Logbook holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pilot Logbook has 182 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of CloudAhoy's written reviews are positive against 60% of Pilot Logbook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudAhoy ships an update every 5 weeks, Pilot Logbook every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
