Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Pilot Log at 93% against LiquidText's 50%. My Pilot Log also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). LiquidText's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. LiquidText sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month and My Pilot Log sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $30.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LiquidText holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiquidText has 6.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of LiquidText's written reviews are positive against 93% of My Pilot Log's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LiquidText ships an update every 2 weeks, My Pilot Log monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
