You run an aircraft partnership or European flying club and need per-company pricing with an unlimited fleet on ULTRA, per-pilot balance management, automated PDF invoicing, and built-in AI integration.
You need native iOS / Android apps, a built-in training module, and detailed document tracking — and you're comfortable with USD pricing that tiers up as your fleet grows.

Pilot-Next is priced per company in four tiers by aircraft and pilot count — free on SOLO, then €9, €18 or €45 per month billed annually — and from three aircraft upward the €45 ULTRA tier covers an unlimited fleet. FlyClub tiers by fleet size: $8.99/month for one aircraft, $24.99 for up to five, $79.99 for up to twenty. In nominal terms — different currencies — the two are level at one aircraft (€9 against $8.99), Pilot-Next is lower at two (€18 on PRO, up to 10 pilots, against $24.99), FlyClub is lower from three to five ($24.99 against €45), and Pilot-Next is lower again from six to twenty ($79.99 against €45).
Pilot-Next maintains a running balance for every pilot and auto-generates a PDF invoice the moment a flight is settled. That removes most of the spreadsheet work that partnership treasurers used to do quarterly. FlyClub handles scheduling and document tracking well; its site does not mention a per-pilot balance ledger or automatic invoicing (read 23 September 2026).
FlyClub ships native iOS and Android applications, which feel snappier and integrate with native OS conventions (push notifications, biometric unlock). Pilot-Next is a progressive web app — installable to the home screen, with recently viewed bookings and the schedule readable offline, and a single codebase across phone, tablet, and desktop. PWAs trade native polish for zero-install distribution and identical features on every device.
FlyClub includes a built-in training module covering instructor management, lesson tracking, and student records. This is useful for clubs that combine recreational flying with structured training. Pilot-Next does not currently include a training module — its focus is on partnership administration: booking, balances, settlement, and maintenance.
Pilot-Next has a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants can book flights, check availability, query pilot balances, and run settlement through natural language. FlyClub’s site does not mention an AI integration (read 23 September 2026).
Find the row that matches your operation.
| Your situation | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 2–10 pilots sharing one aircraft (co-ownership / partnership) | Pilot-Next | Built around pilot balances and shared cost-splitting. SOLO is free, BASIC is €9/mo (billed annually) for up to 5 pilots. |
| European flying club billing in EUR | Pilot-Next | EUR-native pricing, EU hosting, GDPR-friendly. FlyClub publishes its prices in USD. |
| Club that combines flying with structured training | FlyClub | Built-in training module with instructor, lesson, and student tracking. |
| You need native iOS / Android apps with push notifications | FlyClub | Ships true native apps in both app stores. Pilot-Next is a PWA — installable but browser-based. |
| Treasurer wants automated invoicing and per-pilot balance ledger | Pilot-Next | PDF invoices auto-generated on settlement; balances tracked as a running ledger. FlyClub’s site mentions neither. |
| Fleet of 6+ aircraft where the monthly fee matters | Pilot-Next | ULTRA is €45/month (billed annually) for an unlimited fleet; FlyClub Advanced is $79.99/month for up to 20 aircraft. For 3–5 aircraft FlyClub Plus at $24.99/month is nominally lower. |
| Club wants AI assistant integration for hands-free booking | Pilot-Next | Built-in MCP server — connect Claude or ChatGPT directly to the club. |
FlyClub offers a 7-day free trial. There is no permanent free tier. Pilot-Next offers a free SOLO plan (1 aircraft, 1 pilot) that never expires and requires no credit card.
FlyClub starts at $8.99/month (Lite, 1 aircraft) and tiers up by fleet size: $24.99/month for up to 5 aircraft and $79.99/month for up to 20. Pilot-Next is priced per company in four tiers: SOLO is free (1 aircraft, 1 pilot), BASIC €9/month (1 aircraft, 5 pilots), PRO €18/month (2 aircraft, 10 pilots) and ULTRA €45/month (unlimited aircraft and pilots), paid tiers billed annually.
No. FlyClub focuses on scheduling, maintenance, and training. Pilot-Next adds a per-pilot account balance with automated PDF invoicing after each flight, which removes most of the spreadsheet work from running a partnership.
FlyClub ships native iOS and Android apps. Pilot-Next is a mobile-optimized progressive web app (PWA) that runs in any browser — no app store install required, and feature parity across phone, tablet, and desktop.
Most of the differences between Pilot-Next and FlyClub come down to how a flight gets measured, billed and settled. The calculator and these articles explain how we think about that, so you can judge whether the model fits your club before you sign up for anything.
Free and without an account: pick a type and the number of owners, and see the fixed share per year and the rate per flight hour — the same split a partnership or club settles on. Download it as a PDF or as an Excel spreadsheet with live formulas.
Why splitting costs at the booking level beats logging every leg — and what changes when your operations tool stops caring about where you flew.
The practical difference between the two engine-wear measures, which one your club should bill on, and why Pilot-Next lets you configure both per aircraft.
Dues, joining fees and hourly rates at 17 flying clubs, read on their own pages — and what an hour really costs a member at 25, 50 or 100 hours a year.
The six decisions in order — who owns the aircraft, bylaws and operating rules, insurance — and the dues and hourly rate one Cessna 172S needs at 10 to 30 members.
Aircraft operations is not pilot record-keeping, is not flight training, and is not airworthiness management. Why the scope stays tight — and what to use instead.
