Aviatize and Taxiway Bravo, compared honestly
Aviatize is a flight-school operations platform covering scheduling, training and grading, billing, maintenance and compliance, with iOS, Android and web apps on every plan.[1] It is priced per aircraft: Core $29, Plus $59 and Premium $89 per aircraft per month on annual billing, or $41, $84 and $127 billed monthly.[1] Recurring bookings start at Plus, and the trial is a 30-day guided trial that starts after a 30-minute fit call.[1] Weight and balance appears as a free calculator on its website rather than in the plan features.[2] Taxiway Bravo is self-serve and flat priced, and computes weight and balance on every booking from that tail's handbook. For a school that needs grading and accounting integrations, Aviatize does more.
