The business, established in June 2011, currently has 1,245 active paying subscribers across 60 airlines. It boasts 159 airline roster integrations developed over 15 years, contributing to customer retention. Apple reports an 86% subscription retention rate, with 42% of users converting from free trials. The service is priced under $20/year, whereas a competitor charges $29. Recently, an Android app was fully rewritten, and an iOS rewrite is in progress. The company has not engaged in marketing efforts and spends less than $700 annually on ads. Subscriber numbers have decreased by about 33% over two years, a trend analyzed under financials.
The service synchronizes airline crew rosters to various calendar platforms and supports logbook exports. Revenue stems from annual subscriptions through app stores and PayPal, with app stores charging a 15% commission. Since 2016, all tasks are logged, focusing on updates and customer support. Customers are individual pilots and crew members without airline contracts, with 60% based in Australia. Growth is predominantly through word-of-mouth across various countries.
The business's gross revenue for FY 2025-26 was AUD 27,540, with significant development costs impacting profitability. Development primarily involves app rewrites, which could decrease once the iOS rewrite is complete. Opportunities include pricing adjustments, marketing initiatives, improving subscriptions, and updating the app store listing. Challenges include subscriber decline due to low trial volume, platform changes, and the need for parser updates. The business is for sale as the current owner, engaged in full-time airline management, can no longer dedicate the necessary time to its operation.
