Pre-flight decisions are where accidents begin. PriFly is a structured decision-making tool built for private pilots. It replaces gut-feel go/no-go decisions with a clear, score-based risk assessment - so you fly with confidence, not hope. Core features: β’ Operational Risk Matrix - assess task, health, and fatigue risk before every flight β’ Pilot Currency Tracking - know your 90-day, night, and medical status at a glance β’ Digital Logbook - log hours, PIC time, landings and instrument time β’ Aircraft Profiles - manage multiple aircraft with fuel, weight, and performance data PriFly is not a navigation app. It's the pre-flight decision layer that was missing. Built by a military and private pilot. Designed for GA pilots who take the go/no-go decision seriously.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PriFly at daily against HangarLink's weekly. HangarLink's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
