CloudAhoy

  • Pricing is not published; the Pro tier is named but not costed
  • Stability Score and Maneuver Score are Pro features
  • A post-flight debrief tool, so it analyses data recorded elsewhere rather than being an in-cockpit aid

Jeppesen

  • No pricing is published on the site; renewals and purchases are pushed to a separate shop at shop.jeppesen.com
  • Charts, navigation data, flight planning, crew optimisation, weather and training are sold as separate product lines rather than one subscription
