Air Boss vs Schedule Master
Schedule Master has served flying clubs for more than 30 years. What users consistently describe: an interface that feels dated on every surface, no native iOS app, and no visible product development since around 2023. Air Boss is built to be modern on both the web and a real native mobile app.

Where Air Boss is different
Modern on both surfaces
Air Boss gives members a clean web dashboard and a real native app — the same platform, designed this decade, actively developed today.
Built for the phone in your hand
OCR meter scan, squawk photos from the ramp, and push notifications with quiet hours. The mobile app is the product, not an afterthought.
One flat price
$5/aircraft/mo with everything included — below Schedule Master's range, with no add-on modules.
