You run a multi-aircraft club or European partnership and want one price per club rather than per aircraft, automated PDF invoicing, per-pilot balances, calendar sync, and AI integration.
You run a UK syndicate on a single aircraft with many members, want GBP billing, and only need shared scheduling with simple flight logging.

It depends on how many aircraft and how many pilots you have. Flyout's Syndicate plan is £10 a month per aircraft with unlimited members; Pilot-Next is €9, €18 or €45 a month billed annually, set by aircraft and pilot count. The two are in different currencies and we do not convert them, so compare the list prices below in your own currency.
One aircraft, up to five pilots: £10 on Flyout, €9 on Pilot-Next BASIC.
One aircraft, six to ten pilots: £10 on Flyout, €18 on Pilot-Next PRO. A large single-aircraft syndicate is where Flyout's unlimited members pay off.
Two aircraft: £20 on Flyout, €18 on Pilot-Next PRO (up to ten pilots).
Three or four aircraft: £30 or £40 on Flyout, €45 on Pilot-Next ULTRA.
Five aircraft or more: £50 and up on Flyout, still €45 on Pilot-Next ULTRA, which does not change when you add an aircraft.
Figures as listed on flyout.app on 5 October 2026 (“One subscription per aircraft. Unlimited members.”) and on the Pilot-Next pricing page. Flyout lists monthly prices; Pilot-Next's paid plans are billed annually. Flyout's £5 Basic plan is for pilots managing their own aircraft — bookings are listed under Syndicate, not under Basic.

Flyout lists its prices on flyout.app (read 5 October 2026): £10/month for the Syndicate plan with unlimited members, £5/month for Basic, and a free level for invited members, under the heading “One subscription per aircraft.” Pilot-Next is priced per company in four tiers: free on SOLO, then €9, €18 or €45 a month billed annually, by aircraft and pilot count. The structural difference: on Flyout the bill follows the number of aircraft and never the number of members; on Pilot-Next the tier follows both, and from the third aircraft on one ULTRA fee covers an unlimited fleet. Which one is cheaper therefore depends on your group — see the worked comparison above.
Pilot-Next maintains a running balance for every pilot, auto-generates a PDF invoice on each flight settlement, and supports per-hour, per-booking, or manual rates per aircraft and per user. Flyout calculates the cost of each logged flight and shows a monthly cost breakdown per member; its “Managed payments” (who owes what and when) is marked as coming soon on its site, and invoicing is not stated.
Flyout describes itself as UK based and prices in GBP, with unlimited members per subscribed aircraft — a good fit for a UK syndicate of several owners on one airframe. Pilot-Next is EU-hosted, EUR-priced, and GDPR-friendly — a closer fit for clubs based on the continent.
Pilot-Next sends a calendar invitation for every confirmed booking (unless the pilot switches invites off), which Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar accept and which is updated or cancelled with the booking, so a flight you book in the app shows up next to your work meetings. Flyout’s site does not mention external calendar sync (read 23 September 2026).
Pilot-Next has a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants can book flights, check availability, and query the club's data through natural language. Flyout’s site does not mention an AI integration.

| Your situation | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| UK syndicate with 1 aircraft and 4–10 members | Flyout | Built around exactly this shape: one Syndicate subscription at £10/month per aircraft with unlimited members, billed in GBP. Pilot-Next BASIC covers five pilots on one aircraft; beyond that it is PRO (10 pilots) or ULTRA. |
| Continental European club billing in EUR | Pilot-Next | EUR pricing, EU hosting, GDPR-friendly. Flyout prices in GBP. |
| Operating 5+ aircraft and watching the cost | Pilot-Next | One fee for the whole company: ULTRA covers an unlimited fleet for €45/month (billed annually). On Flyout each aircraft is its own £10/month Syndicate subscription, so five aircraft list at £50/month and every further aircraft adds £10. At three or four aircraft Flyout lists lower (£30, £40). |
| Treasurer wants automated invoicing and pilot balance ledger | Pilot-Next | PDF invoices auto-generated on settlement; running balance per pilot. Flyout shows cost breakdowns; its payment tracking is marked coming soon and invoicing is not stated. |
| Pilots want bookings to land in Google / Outlook / Apple Calendar | Pilot-Next | A calendar invitation per confirmed booking. Flyout does not mention calendars. |
| Club wants AI assistant integration for hands-free booking | Pilot-Next | Built-in MCP server — connect Claude or ChatGPT directly to the club. |
| Single-airframe UK syndicate that only needs scheduling | Flyout | Booking, flight logging with automatic cost calculation and maintenance tracking for £10/month per aircraft, unlimited members, nothing to configure for invoicing. |
Yes, for invited members. Flyout has a free £0 level for a pilot who joins a group under a syndicate subscription, by invitation, without managing an aircraft of their own. The owner pays: flyout.app lists the Syndicate plan at £10/month with unlimited members and says “One subscription covers you and your group members” (read on 23 September 2026). Pilot-Next has a SOLO free tier (1 aircraft, 1 pilot) and per-company paid plans from €9/month, billed annually: BASIC covers 1 aircraft and 5 pilots, PRO 2 aircraft and 10 pilots, ULTRA unlimited aircraft and pilots.
Flyout lists three levels on flyout.app (read on 5 October 2026): Free at £0/month for members invited into a syndicate, Basic at £5/month for pilots who manage their own aircraft, and Syndicate at £10/month with unlimited members, under the heading “One subscription per aircraft. Unlimited members.” No free trial is stated. 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.
Partly. flyout.app lists instant flight cost calculation, a monthly cost breakdown and per-member cost details for admins; its “Managed payments” feature (“See who owes what and when”) is marked as coming soon, and invoicing is not stated (read on 23 September 2026). Pilot-Next keeps a running balance per pilot, generates a PDF invoice after each flight settlement, and supports per-hour, per-booking or manual rates per aircraft and pilot.
Flyout does not say it is UK-only, but it prices in GBP and describes itself as UK based. Pilot-Next is EUR-priced and EU-hosted with GDPR-friendly defaults — a better fit for continental European clubs and partnerships.
Most of the differences between Pilot-Next and Flyout 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.

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.

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.
