Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pilot Logbook at none against Pilot Log's shown. Pilot Logbook also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). Pilot Log's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 60%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pilot Logbook holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pilot Logbook has 182 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Pilot Logbook's written reviews are positive against 71% of Pilot Log'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, Pilot Log every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
