# LogTen Pilot Logbook vs FlightGauge

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FlightGauge at 80% against LogTen Pilot Logbook's 35%. LogTen Pilot Logbook's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (10K vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 FlightGauge sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LogTen Pilot Logbook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LogTen Pilot Logbook has 10K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of LogTen Pilot Logbook's written reviews are positive against 80% of FlightGauge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LogTen Pilot Logbook ships an update weekly, FlightGauge every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
