Is there a free pilot logbook with no limits?

MyFlightbook is free, and its pages state no cap on hours or flights. It is funded by donations and run without profit.

How many hours can I log free in a pilot logbook app?

It varies by app. LogTen and Off Chocks allow 50 hours, Wingman 250 hours, CrewLounge PILOTLOG 100 flight records and FlyLog 50 flights. Safelog does not state a limit, and ForeFlight offers a 30-day trial.

What happens to my logbook when the free allowance runs out?

In LogTen and Off Chocks you keep your data and can export it, and adding flights needs a subscription. CrewLounge PILOTLOG drops back to its free Student Edition and keeps your data. The other vendors' pages do not say.

Do imported hours count toward the free allowance?

Not your history, in Off Chocks. Flights you flew before you joined don't count, however you import them, so you can bring your full history across and keep all 50 free hours for new flying. Flights you fly after you join count, whether you type them or import them. The other vendors' pages do not say whether imported hours count.

Private pilot with a few hundred hours: MyFlightbook has no cap and Wingman's free plan runs to 250 hours. LogTen and Off Chocks stop at 50 hours and FlyLog at 50 flights.
Instructor who signs students' entries: MyFlightbook's pages list instructor signatures and endorsements, and it is free. LogTen, Safelog and FlyLog also list digital signatures.

Pilot flying under EASA or CASA rules: Wingman and Off Chocks name both authorities and are free to start, at 250 and 50 hours. MyFlightbook names EASA and says it supports "another authority".
Pilot who wants an iPad-first logbook for FAA, EASA and CASA: Off Chocks is free for 50 logged hours and then US$29.99 a year in the US App Store, against US$79.99 for LogTen Basic.

How this page was checked

Each row comes from the vendor's own website or its US App Store listing, read on 1 November 2026. The links are on the best pilot logbook apps page. Where the page does not say, the cell says "not stated". We used no reviews or comparison sites for any fact.

An airline pilot builds Off Chocks and wrote this page, so weigh the Off Chocks row against the others. mccPILOTLOG is left out because its project was terminated in 2019.
