DroneLogbook
6.4/10Cloud platform for commercial and public-safety drone operators that imports flight logs and tracks fleet maintenance, pilot currency and regulatory compliance reporting.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
DroneLogbook is a Swiss-built, cloud-based system for running a drone programme. It is less about the imagery a drone captures and more about the aircraft, pilots and paperwork around each flight. It imports telemetry from more than 80 log types, including DJI, Skydio, Parrot, Autel, Wingtra, senseFly, Pixhawk and Ardupilot sources. From those logs it fills in flight records, GPS traces and 3D replays, and updates pilot hours, battery cycles and inspection schedules. Maintenance schedules can be triggered by flights, hours or days. Components are tracked by serial number, and overdue aircraft can be grounded automatically. The platform also handles custom checklists, risk assessments, incident records, mission approvals and compliance reports for regulators such as the FAA, CAA, CASA, EASA and Transport Canada. A companion mobile app and the DLBSync Android app work offline and sync later. There are separate editions for public safety (SafetyDrone) and Part 137 agricultural spraying. Pricing is per pilot seat, and non-pilot users are free. The free Standard plan allows 3 users. Paid plans cost 6.95, 12.95, 19.95 and 24.95 US dollars per pilot per month, with 10 percent off quarterly and 20 percent off annual billing. A custom-priced Private Label plan runs on a dedicated server. New users get a two-month trial. API access on public servers starts at Pro+. The product suits drone service providers, utilities, public agencies and enterprise drone teams that need audit-ready records. Its main limitation is scope: it does not process imagery, create maps or models, or handle invoicing and client management. Independent reviews are also scarce, and the mobile app has weak store ratings.
Our Rating
Who DroneLogbook is best for
Best software for Drone Service ProvidersGood fit
Commercial operators get flight log imports, pilot currency tracking, customer and project records, and regulator reports in one per-pilot subscription.
A dedicated public safety edition (SafetyDrone) serves police, fire and EMS drone programmes, and the vendor partnered with Skyfish for government users.
The Private Label plan offers unlimited organisations on a dedicated server, master-admin oversight, custom map tiles and notification controls for large fleets.
A free plan for up to 3 users and paid plans from 6.95 US dollars per pilot per month keep costs low for small operators.
Less suited
Inspection schedules triggered by flights, hours or days, serial-tracked components and technician assignment cover drone maintenance, but not other assets.
Suits utility drone teams that must prove fleet airworthiness and pilot currency, but it does not analyse inspection imagery.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Imports more than 80 telemetry log types, including direct sync from DJI, Skydio Cloud and DroneTag, which reduces manual flight data entry.
- Maintenance can be scheduled by flights, hours or days, tracks components by serial number, and can automatically ground an overdue aircraft.
- Includes ready-made compliance reports for many regulators, including the FAA, CAA, CASA, EASA, DGAC and Transport Canada.
- Billing is per pilot only, with unlimited free non-pilot users and a free tier for up to 3 users.
- Updates arrive almost every month, with 2026 releases adding inventory location maps, dock inspection profiles, battery telemetry reports and ATA codes on inspection tasks.
- The vendor states that both the company and the platform are SOC 2 Type II compliant.
Cons
- It does not process images, build maps or models, or analyse inspection data, so photogrammetry or inspection tools are still needed.
- There is no client invoicing, sales pipeline or client project portal, according to a competitor comparison.
- Independent reviews are very scarce: G2 and SourceForge list no user reviews.
- The iOS companion app has a 2.9 out of 5 rating from few ratings, and users have complained about missing features in past versions.
- API access needs the Pro+ plan or higher, and no public API reference was found.
- Costs grow with every added pilot seat, which adds up for large pilot teams.
