# LogTen Pilot Logbook vs Pilot

LogTen Pilot Logbook also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 31 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LogTen Pilot Logbook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Pilot sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
