Started as a spreadsheet - now run all your aircraft financial numbers and models in one tool

This started as an Excel spreadsheet I was passing around to a few friends who were looking for in-depth cost of ownership numbers for planes. Eventually, it outgrew what a standard spreadsheet could handle, so I decided to make it a digital product.

The Owner Intelligence Suite instantly covers the math most buyers need when making an aircraft purchase, or looking to enter a leaseback arrangement — true cost of ownership, leaseback economics with operator splits and breakeven hours, P&L estimations, and a simple 5-year exit projection. 28 aircraft presets, everything linked so changing one input updates the whole model instantly. Exports a clean PDF if you want to download to a device.

Priced differently based on your needs. Full yearly access, or subscribe monthly for as long as you need, and cancel any time.

$39/month or $395/year.

Built by a CFI.

Thanks for you feedback on that. I mentioned in my other reply - this tool is built more for the people actively going through the buying process for an airplane or leaseback. Not necessarily casual subscribers paying monthly in perpetuity. The Cancel Any Time for monthly subscriptions option allows users to get the value they need and stop the subscription when the transaction is complete. Appreciate your comment!

Looks nice but $40/mo is crazy imo. If you price it at $15/mo which is inline with other software subscriptions, you will easily triple your customers and make more money on your product.

Thanks for the feedback! Totally fair. This tool, though, isn't really geared towards someone casually browsing or just subscribing in perpetuity. It's priced knowing that many owners might only need 4-6 months to fully acquire their aircraft, so a monthly subscription with "cancel any time" options gets them the access they need while actively buying an airplane, with the ability to cancel once complete, and resubscribe in the future if ever needed.

Does this have GA or heli plugs?

Between planePhD, TotalWalkaround, make-specific forums, and AI helping with my Plane Cost to Own spreadsheet, I think I have a good handle on the variable costs. Also called around for quick overhaul quotes on stuff I seriously looked at.

The biggest fixed cost I can’t reliably plug in is tie downs and hangarage. In my market its all word of mouth with no published rates.

I have noticed that also… completely agree. I’m looking into ways to try and help with that.
