Pilot Partner is one of the cheapest billing-and-scheduling tools for small partnerships. Aloft360 covers more of an operation — training, FRAT, safety, full work orders — for a comparable price per aircraft.
Pilot Partner works well for very small partnerships and clubs that mainly need invoicing, Google Calendar scheduling, and basic maintenance reminders. Aloft360 fits the same operators who want FRAT, training records, full work orders, and safety reporting included from day one.

FRAT, safety, training built in
Pilot Partner does not include a FRAT, safety reporting, or student training records. Aloft360 Pro ships with all three — including hard-stop FRAT thresholds, anonymous SMS/ASAP reports, endorsements, and Part 61 checkride tracking.
Native scheduling, not Google Calendar
Pilot Partner relies on Google Calendar for aircraft scheduling. Aloft360 has a purpose-built reservation system with waitlist auto-promote, recurring reservations, instructor-availability gating, and checkout enforcement — all linked directly to flight logging and billing.
Full maintenance, not just reminders
Pilot Partner tracks oil changes, annuals, 100-hr, ADs, and TBO. Aloft360 adds full work-order management with notes and cost tracking, parts inventory with low-stock alerts, and a fleet maintenance dashboard.
