Sky Duty365fly Alternative for Small Flight Departments
365fly is a free, cross-platform aviation-ops app for pilots, dispatchers, and schedulers. Sky Duty is a native, offline-first iPhone and iPad app with a visual Gantt board, a real pilot logbook, maintenance, and receipt-scanning expenses at a transparent $39 per month per aircraft.
Both are all-in-one iOS aviation-ops apps for Part 91 and Part 135. 365fly is free and also runs on Android; Sky Duty is a native, offline-first iPhone and iPad app with a published $39 per month per-aircraft price, built around the visual Gantt board, a pilot logbook with FAA currency, maintenance countdowns, and receipt-scanning expenses.

Why this comparison matters
365fly and Sky Duty read almost the same on paper — both are all-in-one iOS aviation-ops apps for Part 91 and Part 135, covering scheduling, flight and duty time, crew, and maintenance. 365fly has genuine advantages worth stating plainly: it is free to download, it runs on Android as well as iPhone and iPad where Sky Duty is iOS-only, its claimed feature scope is broad — duty and flight-time tracking, crew qualifications, a digital wallet for certificates and medicals, and dispatch. For an operator who needs Android or wants a free download, those are real reasons to look at it. Sky Duty competes on depth and on what can be verified. The scheduling hero is a visual iPad Gantt board with conflict detection, not just a calendar; the logbook is a real pilot logbook with FAA currency that auto-fills from completed trips; maintenance tracks squawks and inspection countdowns against Hobbs, tach, and dates; and expenses use camera receipt-scanning with automatic data extraction. Aircraft are added in seconds from the FAA registry, and the whole app is offline-first, so the schedule, a logbook entry, and a squawk all work with no signal. Sky Duty is also a dedicated aviation product with a public App Store listing and a published price rather than a demo-gated backend. The honest split: 365fly's app is free and cross-platform, and its full-platform pricing is arranged through a demo rather than published. Sky Duty is $39 per month per aircraft with unlimited users and a 14-day trial you can see and start in the app. If free and Android matter most, 365fly is worth a look. If you want a native, offline-first app with a visual Gantt board, a real logbook, and receipt-scanning expenses at a transparent price, Sky Duty is the more direct fit.
Switching from 365fly
Moving to Sky Duty is a quick, forward setup. Download the app, add your tail numbers, and Sky Duty pulls each aircraft from the FAA registry in seconds. Build your first trip on the Gantt board, and the logbook starts filling itself in from completed flights. Keep whatever records you have exported from 365fly for your files; your Sky Duty data exports to PDF and CSV at any time, so nothing is locked in. Because pricing is per aircraft with unlimited users, the whole department — pilots, dispatcher, owner, and mechanic — can be on it during the 14-day trial without counting seats. One note on scope: Sky Duty is iOS-only, so if you need Android, 365fly covers that.
