Flight Circle vs Hobbstack

Looking at Flight Circle for your flight school, flying club, or aircraft partnership? Here's how the two stack up on pricing and feature surface at a typical five-aircraft operation — with a link to the page every competitor figure came from and the date we read it.

How to read this page: every competitor figure below is taken from that vendor's own public pricing page, with a link and the date we read it printed next to the number (last checked August 4, 2026). Vendors change pricing and some publish none at all — confirm directly with the vendor before you decide.

Flight Circle

$50/mo

At five aircraft. $10/month per aircraft or simulator, with no base fee and unlimited members and instructors. Accepting card payments is optional and billed by a third-party processor (1.09–2.9% + $14.95/mo) — that fee is the bank's, not Flight Circle's.

As published at flightcircle.com, verified August 4, 2026.

Pricing history: AOPA Flying Club Product Spotlight, May 17, 2020, documented the same flat per-aircraft, unlimited-users structure with no base fee. That article is six years old — we cite it for how this vendor structures pricing, never as a current rate.
