# Pilot Logbook vs DG Crews

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.

Both are free to download. Pilot Logbook sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and DG Crews sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
