Leon was built for airlines. You're not an airline.
Leon Software has run flight operations at hundreds of operators since 2002. It's excellent software for airlines, for wide-body fleets, for OCC rooms with dedicated dispatchers.
If you're a 1–10 aircraft operator, a charter company, a trip support company or a flight department you're paying for infrastructure you'll never use, in a system that takes weeks to configure, at a price built for someone ten times your size.
FlightStratix is the flight operations platform for the rest of aviation.
We won't pretend to be Leon.
You shouldn't pay for Leon if you don't need it.
We built FlightStratix specifically for the aircraft operators, charter companies, trip support companies and flight departments Leon was never designed for. That's not a weakness. That's the whole point.
Leon's pricing was built when aviation software was sold to airlines.
FlightStratix's pricing was built for the operator who signs the invoice.
Per aircraft. Per user. Per module.
Flat per company. Every user. Every module. Every aircraft.
What each platform actually does.
No marketing spin. Every row honest.
These aren't features Leon forgot. They're features Leon never needed.
Because Leon was built for someone else.
One-click shift handovers the feature Leon operators still do in WhatsApp
Every operator, trip support team, and dispatch desk lives on shift handovers. Ask any Leon customer how they do it. They'll tell you: WhatsApp, email chains, verbal briefings, a Word doc someone types up at 6 PM.
FlightStratix closes your shift with one click. Auto-pulled activity from your window. 72-hour outlook of what's coming. Urgent items, completed items, carry-forwards grouped, timestamped, branded. Rendered as a PDF the next shift can actually use.
Configurable 8h · 12h · 24h · 48h windowsFive service modules per leg, per departure, per arrival
Leon manages the aircraft and the crew. FlightStratix manages everything the aircraft touches when it lands.
Fuel, ground handling, catering, concierge, permits & clearances. Each service tracks its own status, vendor, cost, sell price, margin and document trail. Configured separately at departure and at arrival of every single leg. Catering at JFK can be entirely independent of catering at LFPB.
Leon treats these as ops footnotes. We built our platform around them.Dual-ledger margin per service line
Every service on your trip has two columns: what it cost you and what you sold it for.
Fuel cost vs fuel sell. Handling cost vs handling sell. Every line. Every leg. Every trip. You know your margin at trip, service, vendor and client level. Roll it up. Filter it. Export it.
Leon was built for operators flying their own metal, not operators reselling services with margin.Complete document manager 12+ auto-generated
One trip record → every document your operation needs.
Flight Brief · GenDec · PAX Manifest · Handling Request · Crew Tripsheet · Quote · Charter Agreement · Invoice · Billing Sheet · Flight Order · Trip Report · Fuel Release. All branded. Change the PIC every document regenerates. Change the aircraft every weight and balance recalculates.
The commercial and coordination docs Leon doesn't emphasisePayment link + partial payment tracking
Invoice completes. Send a branded payment link to your client. They open it, they pay, it clears, you get notified.
Track deposits. Track partial payments. Track who paid what and when. Overdue invoices auto-flag with alerts on the notification bell.
Leon closes the trip. FlightStratix closes the trip and gets you paid.Flight change acknowledgement per person, not just an audit log
Leon logs changes to a trip. That's an audit trail.
FlightStratix logs the change and requires each affected crew member and ops desk person to individually acknowledge it before the flight departs. PIC changed at 14:22. FO Singh acknowledged 14:24. FA Chen acknowledged 14:26. Ops desk still pending. Amber indicator until every person ticks their box.
The difference between 'there's a record' and 'everyone knows before wheels-up.'Public embeddable RFQ form

Here's what Leon has that we don't.
If any of the above is a hard requirement for your operation, Leon is the right answer. We'll tell you that on the demo call. If those items don't come up in your daily operation and for most 1–10 aircraft operators, charter companies, trip support companies and flight departments they don't then you're paying for capacity you'll never use.

The question isn't which tool costs less. The question is: which tool does your operation actually need, and how fast can you start using it?
Already on Leon? Here's how it works.
Zero setup fee. No implementation retainer. No trip to Warsaw.
