Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DG Crews at 5.0 against Pilot Logbook's 4.4. DG Crews also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Pilot Logbook's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DG Crews holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pilot Logbook has 184 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Pilot Logbook's written reviews are positive against 43% of DG Crews's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pilot Logbook ships an update every 6 days, DG Crews every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
