Airworth Hangar vs Coflyt — what’s different.

As of 2026-05-05. Competitor claims below cite the competitor’s own published pages. Re-verify before quoting; competitor websites change.

Two products that look adjacent on the surface — both are aircraft maintenance and recordkeeping software for owner-pilots — but answer different questions. This page tells you which is which.

At a glance

Regulatory regime coverage

Hangar’s framework field is per-aircraft, so an N-registered Cirrus in Europe and an EU-registered Beech in the same account get the right inspection signoffs and AD recordkeeping each.

Coflyt’s positioning is around FAR Part 91 inspection tracking . We could not find an explicit Part-ML compliance flow on Coflyt’s published features page (negative claim — verify against Coflyt’s current site, since this is a moving target).

If you fly EASA-only, or you want Part-ML compliance specifically (AMP self-declaration, ARC renewal, pilot-owner maintenance scope), Hangar is built for that case. If you fly FAR Part 91 only, both should work; the deciding factor is feel and price.

AD/SB tracking

Both products track airworthiness directives. Hangar ships a 727-entry catalog of service documents (AD, SB, SL) with an applicability engine that matches by serial range, model, date, and equipment, plus a monthly catalog-update workflow. Coflyt’s documentation describes inspection tracking; the depth of AD-vs-aircraft applicability matching at Coflyt is not something we can claim from the outside without inspection — verify against Coflyt’s product or with a trial.

For Hangar’s AD-tracking detail, see the AD compliance tracking guide.

Component-time updates

Hangar recomputes components every time you log flight hours. Three trigger types: hour-based, calendar-based, cycle-based at aircraft level. We are explicit that cycle tracking today is at the aircraft level, not per-component.

Coflyt also tracks components against flight hours per its features page. Difference in feel is more about UI than capability for the typical owner-pilot.

Logbook import

Hangar imports your aircraft logbook PDF in two tiers — text extraction first, vision OCR fallback for scanned pages. Thirteen importer formats and five input modes (manual, paste, file, PWA share-target, OCR-from-photo). Multi-pilot, ghost-flights, electronic CFI signing, hash-chained PDF export. Honest caveat: hash-chain verify has a known edge case for aircraft logged before our PR #51.

Coflyt’s logbook handling is documented at their site; verify if this is a deciding factor.

Pricing

Hangar is free during early access. We are not promising “always free.” We are not collecting payment information today. Pricing models are an open question and will be communicated before any charge.

Coflyt’s pricing is subscription-based with multiple tiers . Re-verify the current numbers on Coflyt’s pricing page when you compare; subscription pricing changes over time.

When Coflyt is the better fit

• You fly FAR Part 91 only and want a polished, US-domestic product with a track record.
• You want subscription pricing today, with predictable cost.
• You operate inside the US flying-club ecosystem Coflyt has built into.

When Hangar is the better fit

• You operate under EASA Part-ML, or in both EASA and FAA regimes, and want one view.
• You want AD/SB tracking with a 727-document catalog and a monthly update workflow.
• You’re comfortable being on a waitlist while pricing is undecided.
• You want to verify what’s running by reading the open-source Flights code (Hangar is closed today, but the broader org is open about feature truth-tables; see Transparency).

What we are not telling you

We do not have a screenshot-dated audit of Coflyt’s exact current feature set on this page. We will not invent claims about Coflyt that we can’t anchor to their public site. Negative claims (the form “Coflyt does not do X”) are flagged where we relied on the absence of a feature page; treat those with the appropriate skepticism and verify before quoting.
