Choose Your Plan

Every pilot gets full-quality briefings. Upgrade to Casual or Pro for auto-monitoring and more capacity. Pro Plus adds automation while you're on the ground and when you file — plus PlaneWX Labs.

Upgrade any time. Unused time on your current plan is credited — you only pay the difference.

Note: I priced annual when the app was new. It isn't anymore. This locks today's rate for two years. Grateful for your support — it's why I keep putting my heart, soul, and wallet into PlaneWX. — Mark

Lock today's price — 2 years

Pro Plus

For pilots who want PlaneWX working between flights — parked-aircraft watch, briefings on file, and early access to tools still in development. Decision support only; you stay PIC.

Everything in Pro, plus:

  • Ground Protection

    We watch the weather at your parked aircraft and text you before hail, wind, or freezing rain arrives.

  • Auto-Brief

    File a flight plan and your briefing is waiting before you ask for it.

  • Pre-Flight Text

    Your WX Score by text 30 minutes before departure, with a link that opens the briefing without a login. Requires a verified phone number.

  • Contract Fuel Pricing

    Your negotiated vendor prices, applied to every fuel stop recommendation.

  • Briefed Fuel Stops

    Your fuel stops get NOTAM-screened, so a closed runway — or an outage of the fuel you actually burn — rules a stop out before you plan around it.

  • On-Demand Refresh

    Take complete control of your briefing refresh schedule. Refresh your briefing anytime you want. *15-minute cooldown between refreshes (5 minutes in the last hour).

  • 5x5 Insurance Discount

    Eligible for up to 10% off your aircraft insurance premium through our partner 5x5. Terms are set by 5x5.

  • PlaneWX Labs

    Early access to features still in development. Altitude Profile cross-section, Route Map Forecast models, and Pilot Self Debrief.

Common Questions

Do free users get lower-quality briefings?

No. Every pilot gets the same AI-powered briefings with full WX Score breakdowns, PAVE assessments, and Synoptic Intelligence. Pro adds automation and capacity, not quality.

What happens when my trial ends?

You'll be moved to the Free plan. Your data stays intact — you just lose auto-refresh, email alerts, and the higher limits. Subscribe to Casual or Pro anytime to get them back.

Can I upgrade mid-plan?

Yes. Casual to Pro, Pro to Plus, monthly to annual, or the 2-year lock. Unused time is credited first. You'll see the breakdown — then you pay only the difference today.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly, annual, and 2-year plans can be canceled at any time. You keep access until the end of your current billing period.

What is the 2-year price lock?

Pay two years at today's annual rate — Casual $120, Pro $238, Pro Plus $498. If you upgrade later, unused time is credited and the new tier is charged at the price that day. The lock is offered through October 1.

What are briefing refreshes?

Each time your briefing is regenerated with new weather data, that's a refresh. Free users get 15 per week (resets every Monday). Casual, Pro, and Pro Plus include unlimited briefing refreshes, plus automatic updates on monitored trips.
