Where each app wins

Neither app is perfect for everyone. Here's where each one genuinely shines.

Wingman wins on

Airline roster import coverage

Wingman connects to 6 scheduling systems covering 400+ airlines worldwide. Flylog.io supports 150+ airlines. If you fly for a Gulf carrier, Indian airline, or any airline using Sabre, NavBlue, CAE FLICA, CESAR, or ARMS, Wingman is significantly more likely to support your airline out of the box.

Wingman wins on

Indian aviation support

Wingman has direct eGCA integration with CA39 summary generation, DGCA-compliant exports, and support for every major Indian airline. This is purpose-built for the Indian regulatory environment. Flylog.io does not offer eGCA integration.

Wingman wins on

Free tier and pricing

Wingman's free tier covers up to 250 flight hours with no time limit. Student pilots can use it through their entire training without paying. Flylog.io limits the free trial to 20 records. On pricing, Wingman at $59/year is cheaper than Flylog.io's Premium tier ($96/year) while including roster import for 400+ airlines.

Wingman wins on

Permanent data retention

Wingman never deletes your logbook data, even if you cancel your subscription or take a multi-year career break. Your data is always there when you come back. This matters for pilots who take breaks for training, family, or career transitions.

Flylog.io wins on

VFR navigation and EFB features

Flylog.io's Premium tier includes a full VFR navigation suite with worldwide maps, NOTAMs, METAR/TAF, airspace data, and in-flight recording. Wingman is a dedicated logbook and does not include navigation tools. For GA pilots who want logbook and navigation in one app, Flylog.io offers genuine value.

Flylog.io wins on

Desktop native apps

Flylog.io has native apps for Mac and Windows in addition to mobile and web. Wingman works on web browsers on desktop but does not have a dedicated desktop application. If you prefer a native desktop experience for reviewing your logbook, Flylog.io has the edge.

Flylog.io wins on

Flight school and business tools

Flylog.io has a separate Business tier for flight schools, rental operators, and charter companies, with fleet management, crew scheduling, technical logs, and per-aircraft billing. Wingman is focused on individual pilot logbooks. If you run an aviation business, Flylog.io offers tools Wingman does not.

Flylog.io wins on

Audit and error detection

Flylog.io includes a built-in audit engine that flags errors in your logbook before you generate exports. This is genuinely useful for pilots preparing for licence renewals or checkrides. Wingman does not currently have an equivalent feature.

The bottom line

Choose Wingman if you fly for an airline and want the widest roster import coverage (400+ airlines), need eGCA integration for Indian aviation, want a generous free tier for training, or want a dedicated logbook at a competitive price with permanent data retention.

Choose Flylog.io if you want logbook and VFR navigation in a single app, need native desktop apps for Mac or Windows, run a flight school or charter operation, or value the built-in audit engine for error detection before exports.

Both are well-maintained, cross-platform logbook apps with active development. The right choice depends on whether you need deep airline integration and roster import (Wingman) or a broader aviation platform with navigation and business tools (Flylog.io).
