LogTen Pro vs Wingman vs ForeFlight Logbook: detailed 2026 comparison

If you are evaluating a digital logbook in 2026, three names come up more than any others: LogTen Pro, Wingman, and ForeFlight Logbook. They are all credible, all actively maintained, and all used by working pilots. They are also built around three different assumptions about who you are and how you fly.

This comparison looks at platform support, pricing, regulator coverage, scheduling integration, and the kind of pilot each app fits. There is no single winner here, because the apps are not really competing for the same pilot. The goal is to help you match the tool to your operation rather than pick whichever app a senior captain mentioned during line training.

All pricing in this post was verified against each company's published listings before publication. Verify current figures yourself before relying on them, since subscription prices change.

Quick verdict: which app fits which use case

If you want the short version before the detail, here it is.

ForeFlight Logbook suits pilots who already live inside the ForeFlight ecosystem. If you fly with ForeFlight for charts, weather, and planning, the logbook is already included in your subscription and there is little reason to run a second app.

LogTen Pro suits US general aviation pilots who want a mature, analytics-heavy logbook with a full desktop experience on the Mac. It has been refined over many years and the data analysis tools are genuinely deep.

Wingman suits airline and international pilots who need Android support, broad regulator coverage outside the US, and automatic roster import. It is the logbook that follows you across airlines, devices, and authorities without re-entry.

If you fly an Android phone, operate under a non-US regulator, or want your airline roster to populate your logbook automatically, that narrows the field quickly. The sections below explain why.

A table cannot capture everything, so the rest of this post works through the categories that tend to decide the choice.

Platform support

Platform support is the first filter, and it often ends the comparison before pricing even matters.

LogTen Pro runs on iOS and macOS. The Mac app is central to the experience: schedule import, advanced smart groups, batch editing, and custom reports are Mac features. If you own an iPhone, iPad, and Mac, this is a tightly integrated environment. If you carry an Android phone, LogTen does not run on it at all.

ForeFlight Logbook runs on iPhone, iPad, and ForeFlight Web. There is no Android app, because ForeFlight as a whole is an iOS and iPadOS product. The web interface lets you add and review entries from a browser, which covers the desktop case without a native Mac or Windows app.

Wingman runs on iOS, Android, and the web, and it is the same logbook on every device. For a pilot in a mixed-device household, or one who switches phones across a career, or one whose airline issues Android tablets, this matters. It also matters for cohorts where Android share is high: pilots at IndiGo, Akasa Air, VietJet, Lion Air, and Cebu Pacific are not all on iPhones.

Pricing, current as of publication

Pricing here reflects each company's published individual annual plans, verified before this post went live.

LogTen has two tiers. LogTen Basic is $79.99 per year and LogTen Pro is $129.99 per year. The Pro tier is the one most working pilots need, because airline schedule import, batch editing, advanced smart groups, and custom reports are Pro features. LogTen is free for your first 50 flight hours, which covers many student pilots up to their first certificate.

ForeFlight does not sell its logbook separately. The logbook is included with the ForeFlight Starter plan at $130 per year, and also with the Essential ($260) and Premium ($390) plans. If you already subscribe to ForeFlight for charts and planning, the logbook costs you nothing extra. If you do not, $130 a year for a logbook alone is the entry point, and you are paying for an entire electronic flight bag to get it.

Wingman is $59 per year on its international plan and ₹4,499 per year in India. There is a free tier that covers up to 250 hours with full feature access, so student pilots building their first 250 hours pay nothing.

The honest read on price: if you are already a ForeFlight subscriber, the ForeFlight logbook is effectively free to you, and that is a real advantage. If you are buying a logbook on its own, Wingman at $59 is less than half the cost of LogTen Pro and less than half the cost of a ForeFlight Starter plan. Cost is rarely the only factor, but it is a clear one.

Regulator and authority coverage

This is where the three apps diverge most for non-US pilots. LogTen and ForeFlight are both built first for the US market. They handle FAA currency and recency well, and LogTen also tracks duty and rest against FAR 117 and EASA rules. For a pilot flying under the FAA, either app covers the regulatory basics competently.

The picture changes if your licence is issued elsewhere. Wingman exports a compliant logbook for 10 regulators: FAA, EASA, UK CAA, GCAA, DGCA, GACA, NZCAA, HKCAD, CASA, and CAAS. For a pilot at Emirates moving to a European carrier, or a DGCA licence holder applying to a Gulf airline, the logbook is already formatted for the authority that will review it. That breadth is the reason Wingman positions itself for international and airline pilots rather than US general aviation.

If you only ever expect to fly under one authority, broad regulator coverage may not change your decision. If your career has already crossed borders, or you expect it to, it is worth weighing carefully. Wingman publishes regulator-specific guidance for the DGCA, EASA, GCAA, and FAA if you want to see how export works for a specific authority.

Roster import and scheduling automation

For an airline pilot, the difference between a logbook you maintain and a logbook that maintains itself comes down to roster automation.

LogTen offers schedule import for over 100 airlines, handled through the Mac app. You connect your schedule and LogTen pulls flights in, which removes most manual entry for supported carriers. The dependency is the Mac: this is not a phone-only workflow.

ForeFlight does not import airline rosters. It logs flights from connected avionics and from track logs recorded during the flight, with draft entries you confirm afterward. For a GA pilot flying behind a compatible panel, this is genuinely automatic. For an airline pilot flying a fixed roster, it is not the same thing as roster import.

Wingman imports directly from eight crew scheduling systems: AIMS eCrew, NavBlue RAIDO, CAE Crew Access, ARMS, CESAR, Sabre, FLICA, and PDC CrewConnex. If your airline runs one of these, your flights appear in your logbook without manual entry, on whatever device you carry. Roster import is the highest-frequency feedback theme across cohorts at Emirates, IndiGo, Spirit, and easyJet, which is consistent with how central it is to airline pilots specifically.

The flowchart below shows how a pilot lands on each app based on the questions that matter most.

Verdicts by pilot type

No single app wins for everyone. Here is how the comparison resolves for four common pilot profiles.

Airline pilots on a roster system

For an airline pilot, roster import and multi-regulator export are the deciding features, and Wingman leads on both. Flights populate automatically from AIMS, NavBlue, Sabre, and five other systems, and the logbook exports for whichever authority issued your licence. LogTen's 100+ airline schedule import is a real alternative if you are Apple-only and fly a supported carrier, but it depends on the Mac. ForeFlight does not import rosters, so for a fixed-roster airline pilot it means more manual entry than the other two.

General aviation pilots

For US general aviation, all three apps are legitimate. LogTen Pro is the strongest fit if you want deep analytics, smart groups, and a full desktop experience, and you are comfortable in the Apple ecosystem. ForeFlight Logbook is the obvious choice if you already use ForeFlight for planning, since the logbook is included and logs automatically from track logs. Wingman works for GA pilots too, and its free tier up to 250 hours is generous for pilots early in training, but its roster and multi-regulator strengths matter less to a purely domestic GA pilot.

Android users

This one is short. LogTen and ForeFlight do not run on Android. If Android is your primary device and you want a native app rather than a workaround, Wingman is the only one of the three that supports you, on Android, iOS, and the web with the same logbook.

Budget-conscious pilots

If you already pay for ForeFlight, its logbook costs nothing more, which is the cheapest path for an existing ForeFlight subscriber. If you are buying a logbook on its own, Wingman at $59 per year is the lowest standalone price of the three, with a free tier up to 250 hours. LogTen Basic at $79.99 is cheaper than LogTen Pro, but Basic omits schedule import, so airline pilots generally need the $129.99 Pro tier.

What pilots say

Per the testimonial policy for this comparison, here are two verbatim reviews from public app store listings, one for each competitor.

A reviewer of the ForeFlight Mobile EFB on the US App Store wrote that "Overall the ForeFlight app has been incredible for the industry."

As one App Store reviewer of LogTen put it, "the data analysis available with LTP is extremely powerful."

LogTen's strengths come through in its own App Store reviews as well, where pilots highlight the depth of its data analysis. As one App Store reviewer of LogTen put it, "the data analysis available with LTP is extremely powerful."

Both observations match the wider pattern. ForeFlight is valued as an all-in-one flight bag, and LogTen is valued for analytical depth. Neither of those strengths is in dispute here.

For Wingman, rather than quote individual reviews, the consistent feedback theme across airline cohorts is roster automation. Pilots at Emirates, IndiGo, Spirit, and easyJet raise automatic roster import more than any other single topic, which tracks with how the app is positioned.

Switching from LogTen or ForeFlight to Wingman

If the comparison points you toward Wingman, migration is straightforward and you do not lose history.

1. Export your existing logbook. In LogTen, export your logbook data from the app. In ForeFlight, export your full logbook from the ForeFlight website. Both apps let you export your complete records.

2. Import into Wingman. Open Wingman and import the exported file. Your flight history, hours, type ratings, and routes carry across.

3. Connect your roster. If your airline runs a supported crew system, connect it once so future flights import automatically.

4. Check your currency setup. Confirm your licence, medical, and recency rules are configured so Wingman tracks expiries for your authority.

5. Verify totals. Compare your career totals in Wingman against your old logbook before you rely on it.
   

The point of switching is not to abandon your records, it is to carry them onto a logbook that runs on every device and exports for every authority you might fly under.

Frequently asked questions

Is LogTen Pro still worth it in 2026? For US general aviation pilots in the Apple ecosystem, yes. LogTen Pro at $129.99 per year is a mature, analytics-rich logbook with schedule import for 100+ airlines and a full Mac experience. The main limitations are that it does not run on Android and is built first for FAA pilots, so its value depends on your devices and your regulator.

Does ForeFlight include a full logbook, or is it an add-on? ForeFlight Logbook is included with the ForeFlight Starter, Essential, and Premium plans, so it is part of the subscription rather than a separate purchase. There is no way to buy the logbook on its own; the lowest plan that includes it is Starter at $130 per year.

Which logbook app works on Android? Of these three, only Wingman has an Android app. LogTen runs on iOS and macOS, and ForeFlight runs on iPhone, iPad, and ForeFlight Web. Wingman runs on iOS, Android, and the web with the same logbook on each.

Can I import my LogTen data into Wingman? Yes. Export your logbook from LogTen, then import that file into Wingman. Your flight history, hours, type ratings, and routes transfer across, so you do not start from zero.

Which app has the broadest regulatory acceptance outside the US? Wingman exports a compliant logbook for 10 regulators, including FAA, EASA, UK CAA, GCAA, DGCA, GACA, NZCAA, HKCAD, CASA, and CAAS. LogTen and ForeFlight are built first for FAA pilots, so for a pilot licensed outside the US, Wingman covers more authorities.

What is the cheapest pilot logbook app among the three? If you already subscribe to ForeFlight, its logbook is included at no extra cost, which is the cheapest route for existing ForeFlight users. As a standalone purchase, Wingman is the lowest at $59 per year, with a free tier up to 250 hours. LogTen Basic is $79.99 but omits schedule import.

Which app is best for airline pilots on a roster system? Wingman is the strongest fit for roster-based airline pilots, because it imports directly from eight crew scheduling systems, including AIMS eCrew, NavBlue RAIDO, CAE Crew Access, ARMS, CESAR, Sabre, FLICA, and PDC CrewConnex, on any device. LogTen offers schedule import for 100+ airlines but only through its Mac app. ForeFlight does not import airline rosters.

Already using LogTen or ForeFlight?

Switching to Wingman takes minutes, and your full history comes with you. The app runs on iOS, Android, and the web, exports for 10 regulators, and imports your roster automatically from eight crew systems. You can start free and log up to 250 hours before paying anything.
