WingWrangler vs
Flight Schedule Pro
Flight Schedule Pro publishes no price, makes the price you are given confidential, keeps billing a suspended account, and requires 60 days' written notice to leave. We publish our rate, bill month to month, and charge nothing to leave. Every claim about them below is quoted from their own pages and linked.
- You want the vendor to run the migration, including importing a MyFBO .bak and seeding your account configuration.
- A phone line with published hours and published response metrics, staffed by a North-America-based team, is part of what you are buying.
- An installed base of 1,100 or more schools matters because it means references at your size.
- You want to start with Scheduling Hub alone and add the rest of the hubs later.
- You want to read the price before you take a call, and to repeat it to anyone afterwards.
- Month-to-month with no notice period, no prepayment and no reactivation or reconnection fee.
- You do not want a contract that keeps billing a suspended account or lets the vendor delete your data after termination.
- You want to run the cutover yourself from a CSV rather than hand over your old system's credentials.
- Dispatch, maintenance, training and billing have to arrive in one subscription instead of a hub-by-hub quote.
No amount is published. The Suite is priced per aircraft and every plan ends in a quote request. What you are quoted is confidential under § 3.1, so you cannot check it against a peer school's rate.
Their pricing page · checked 2 September 2026Club, up to 10 aircraft, unlimited members, dispatch and maintenance included. Academy is $10/aircraft plus $ 12 per active student per month. No hub-by-hub quote.
Our pricing page8 aircraft, 42 members, no student billing
12 aircraft, 40 active students
Both our figures are list price with no discount applied, read from the pricing page that our billing runs on. The comparison only completes on your demo call, when you have their number. If their quote comes back lower and the contract terms below are acceptable to you, that is a sound reason to stay. Note one thing before you prepay: their § 3.1 makes all amounts paid nonrefundable, so a prepayment is normally spent.
What Flight Schedule Pro does well, in their own words.
They run a published onboarding program, staff it with a North-America-based team, and print their own support metrics. A comparison that only lists contract clauses would miss the parts of the business they are genuinely good at.
They have the largest installed base in this market, which is a real operational advantage.

Flight Schedule Pro: Plans & Pricing · checked 2 September 2026Every row is sourced, including the ones we lose.
Their column is quoted from their own pages, linked, with the date we read it. Where they publish nothing on a point, the row says so. We do not fill that silence with a guess about what their software does.
Green marks a line where we think the answer is clearly ours, amber where it is clearly theirs, grey where a buyer could reasonably call it either way. Three amber rows and two ties stand: onboarding and migration, support, track record, buying only what you need, and card processing. We would rather you saw them here than discovered them after signing.
What each contract actually commits you to.
Their agreement is published at flightschedulepro.com. The contracting entity named in it is Keyes Technology, LLC d/b/a Pilotbase. The quotes below are from that document, with the section number, on the date shown in the sources.
Terms change. If the wording above no longer matches the live page, the live page is right and this page needs updating. Tell us and we will correct it.
Payments run through a merchant account they arrange, and the funnel into it starts with three months of your processing statements.
"Leverage our payment team's expertise and let us help you uncover potential areas for savings and efficiency improvement within your payment processing workflow by analyzing 3 months of your current merchant processing statements."
Billing Hub & Integrated Payments · checked 2 September 2026They may route payments through a third-party processor, whose own terms, including the rates and fees, govern.
"Pilotbase may facilitate your payments through a third-party payment processing vendor. All terms related to such payment processing services, including assessment of payment processing rates and fees, will at all times be governed by and in accordance with the relevant Third-Party Terms"
§ 3.3 · checked 2 September 2026WingWrangler charges members through your own Stripe account, connected to ours. Stripe publishes its rates; you read them from Stripe, not from us, and the money lands in your bank without passing through ours.
Export your members and aircraft from Flight Schedule Pro, upload the CSVs, correct the detected column mapping, and look at the preview counts before anything is written. Bookings, logbook entries and maintenance items are being added to the importer now; they are not supported yet. The full checklist, including what stays manual, is on the switch page, and the Migration Grant covers up to 12 months of a remaining contract, which matters because their prepayments are nonrefundable.
On the cutover itself, they are better than we are. Their published path takes a MyFBO .bak backup and has their service delivery team seed your account configuration, with a published timeline of as little as four weeks. Our importer is self-serve. If a done-for-you migration is what you need, weigh that properly before you switch.
The questions a buyer actually asks.
Is WingWrangler cheaper than Flight Schedule Pro?
We cannot tell you, because they publish no price. The pricing page ends in a custom quote request and § 3.1 forbids their customers from repeating their rates, so you cannot benchmark the quote against a peer school either. Ours is published: $25 per aircraft per month on Club, or $10 per aircraft plus $12 per active student per month on Academy. Put your quote next to that number on the day you get it.
What does 60 days' written notice actually require?
Their § 6.2 lets you terminate on at least sixty days' prior written notice, provided you have no Order Forms then in effect. Two things follow: a renewal decision has to be made well before the term ends, and an outstanding Order Form has to be cleared first. Ask them in writing what notice they expect and when the window opens. Our terms have no notice period; you cancel in the app.
We prepaid. What happens if we leave mid-term?
Their § 3.1 says payments are made in advance and all amounts paid are nonrefundable, and § 6.1 says they may terminate immediately for any reason without refunding prepaid fees. A prepayment is therefore normally sunk. That is what the Migration Grant is for: we credit up to 12 months of your remaining contract so a prepayment is not the reason you stay.
Are there fees for pausing or coming back?
In their terms, yes. A reconnection fee after a suspension (§ 5) and a reactivation fee on previously deactivated accounts (§ 6.1), both at their option, with no amount stated. Ask for both numbers in writing before you sign. WingWrangler has no reactivation fee, no reconnection fee and no exit charge.
What happens to our records at the end?
In their terms, backing Customer Data up is your responsibility, access ceases immediately on a termination for cause, and they may delete Customer Data at any time after termination for any reason (§ 12.1). Export before you cancel, whichever system you are on. Under 14 CFR 141.101 a pilot school keeps student records for at least a year, and under 61.189 an instructor keeps endorsement records for three years. That duty belongs to you, not to the vendor.
Should we switch at all?
Not on this page's say-so. If you want the vendor to run the cutover, take your .bak file and seed the account for you, and you want a phone line with published hours, they do that better than we do and you should weigh staying. If published pricing, a month-to-month term, no notice period and no exit fees are the things you care about, those are the lines we win. Run both for a month: our free plan covers one aircraft and costs nothing.
They quote on request. Our pricing is published.
They publish $10/aircraft. We publish $25. The honest comparison.
No live product left to compare. Six months free when you switch.
Free, until you count the hours and the mistakes.
Or skip ahead: see plan pricing and the live estimator, or explore the live demo.
Run both until you have their number.
Our free plan covers one aircraft, so testing costs nothing. Put your quote from them next to our published rate, read both contracts, and decide with the numbers in front of you. If you are mid-term, we credit up to 12 months of what is left.
You can always leave.
Their agreement puts backups on you and ends access on termination for cause. Our exit terms are published in plain terms:
Ask and you get a complete CSV export of members, aircraft, bookings, logbook entries, maintenance items, and invoices, plus all uploaded documents as raw files.
Leaving costs nothing. There is no reactivation fee, reconnection fee, or exit charge in our terms.
No annual term, no renewal notice window, no auto-renew trap. Cancel and the next month simply doesn't bill.
The rate is on the pricing page, not in a confidential quote. You may repeat it to anyone, including a competitor.
- Logbook: CSV, FAA-format PDF, and a Part 141 audit CSV
- Reports: utilization, instructor hours, training progress, and receivables as CSV
- Import error reports: per-row failures exported as CSV
A complete account export (every database table as CSV plus all uploaded documents) is provided by support upon request. It is always free.
-
A pilot school must keep each student record for at least 1 year after the student graduates, terminates enrollment, or transfers.
eCFR: 14 CFR § 141.101, Training records -
A flight instructor must keep endorsement and test-recommendation records for at least 3 years.
eCFR: 14 CFR § 61.189, Flight instructor records
The FAA holds the school and instructor to strict retention timelines. No software vendor can absorb that legal duty. Keep your own copy of every export. We hand all data back whenever you ask, including the day you cancel.
What we do not claim: we hold no SOC 2 report today (status is on the security page) and we publish no uptime figure, because we have not published one you could hold us to. Ask us again when that changes.
