Comparison

Dronetrake vs Airdata UAV

Two tools for two jobs. Dronetrake is the European operator's working platform: your flight data plus everything you invoice around it. Verified against public pages on 15 August 2026.

Dronetrake is for you if:

You invoice your flights — quotes, signed contracts and EU e-invoicing (FatturaPA, Facturae, Factur-X, XRechnung) next to the data, not in another app.
You operate under EASA and need 3 years of records — EU Reg. 2019/947 requires them; the Dronetrake logbook is append-only with a hash-chain and keeps them on every plan, free included. Airdata stops at 6–24 months.
You stream live and don't want to count viewers — flat streaming in every plan, unlimited viewers, public events over HLS.
You want logs to arrive on their own — the Dronetrake Sync app reads native flight records from the controller or the phone (10 Hz telemetry), DJI enterprise comes in over the Cloud API, and DJI/Litchi/Airdata CSV still work, European semicolon exports included.
You work in Europe — UAS zones for 9 countries, 8 languages, EU hosting, national e-invoicing.

Trying costs nothing

Bring your history over from Airdata in one move: upload a drone's export ZIP as it is — the whole history, idempotent — or single CSV files from the phone. GPS track, altitudes, battery cells and duration enter the tamper-evident logbook, European semicolon exports included. If it's not for you, you go back: your data stays yours.
