    ForeFlight
    This tool is perfect for any pilot, whether he or she is an ATP or a student. This is an all-in-one tool for preflight operations through post-flight operations. The subscriptions might be pricey for some people, but the resources it provides, as well as its functions and capabilities, make the paid service very valuable.

    Recurly is great for tracking transactions and reviewing payment method declines. The platform is extremely helpful when dealing with scenarios where someone believes they have been fraudulently charged for the product. Recurly allows for transaction filtering, which is very helpful when trying to find possibly fraudulent charges very easy. If expecting precise, detailed information about a card decline, Recurly would not be very helpful.

    Cons
    ForeFlight
    • It would be helpful to be able to import Cloud Ahoy data onto ForeFlight to see specific instrument data during specific phases of flight.
    • When typing waypoints into the Flight Plan section, it would be helpful if pressing backspace simply erases the last character, rather than every character in the waypoint typed thus far.
    • It would be helpful to be able to place flight breadcrumbs on the map, even after the breadcrumbs time has expired, for review in the future.
    • It would be helpful to include a sum total of ground instruction time in the Experience Report section of the logbook.

    • I really can't think of any shortcomings on Recurly because they have tried to cover all bases well. However, I believe that pricing could be little competitive because Recurly can become quite expensive when you have acquired a good number of subscribers. So apart from price, there are no shortcomings I can think of on product side.

    Usability
    ForeFlight
    First, it is very easy to learn how to use ForeFlight through active use of the products. Additionally, its website has helpful videos and guides that provide tutorials on how to use its resources. ForeFlight also produces helpful legends that helps pilots to interpret symbology correctly. Finally, it is very easy to share documents, endorsements, etc., among ForeFlight users.

    Recurly is very good at showing all the data we need to see on a day to day basis. Keeping track of invoices and subscriptions across many markets helps us see the overall map of our business operations. Our representatives that do not work in billing can easily understand from viewing the platform of our progress.

    They have always been quick to respond and help. I love their chat feature at the bottom right-hand corner of the platform.

    Recurly does a much better job at handling subscription payments than QuickBooks Online. We only use QuickBooks Online when we have a client who cannot pay via credit/debit card. In those cases, we send out automatic invoices via QuickBooks Online instead. 95% of our clients are processed through Recurly.

    Return on Investment
    ForeFlight
    • The operational costs of ForeFlight are likely to be minimal, especially when compared to the efficiency gains (e.g., flight preparation, etc.) and potential boosts to safety (e.g., weight and balance calculations, information that can be used for aeronautical decision-making scenarios, etc.).

    • Providing an interface for our subscribers to manage their own accounts has simplified our business tremendously. This alone has freed up hours of our staff's time each day.
    • Many customers receive new credit cards due to expiration or fraud. The time we spent in updating this information prior to using Recurly's Revenue Recovery feature versus now is significant.
