SkyCalc is a newer, US-airline-only calculator with a genuine year-end forecast and a price that undercuts ours. Miles Mosaic tracks a wider set of loyalty programmes, airline and hotel, US and international, doing a similar forecasting job across all of them. Neither claim cancels the other out, so here is where each one actually wins.

Which one is right for you?
A short, honest read on when each tool is the right choice.
When Miles Mosaic is the right choice
Miles Mosaic is the right choice when the programme you care about is not a major US airline, or when you want elite status, hotel nights and points expiry watched in the same place. We track 31 loyalty programmes, 24 airline and 7 hotel, plus 8 transferable point currencies, covering the big US carriers alongside British Airways Executive Club, Flying Blue, Lufthansa Miles and More, Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors and more. Every earning rule and tier threshold carries its own dated last-verified stamp, and when we get one wrong, the correction is logged publicly at /about/corrections/ rather than quietly edited away. The same engine that forecasts elite-status renewal also watches for a tracked balance or membership nearing its expiry date and warns you before it lapses, not only before a tier deadline. You add a flight or stay, or paste in membership numbers and a CSV of past activity, and no loyalty password is ever asked for or stored. Miles Mosaic is a responsive web app and PWA, with no native app, and it does not do award search or booking. Explorer is free permanently, not a trial, and Pro is $7.50 per month for the full multi-programme forecast, the status simulator and deeper analytics.
When SkyCalc is the right choice
SkyCalc is the right choice if every programme you hold is one of its seven supported US airlines, American, Delta, United, Alaska, Hawaiian, Southwest and JetBlue, and you want the cheapest year-end forecast available. Its Status Planner and Year-End Forecast do a genuinely similar job to ours for those airlines: add the trips you have booked and it projects where you will land by year's end, with strategic booking recommendations. That planner sits behind its $5-a-month Professional tier ($9 for Executive, which tracks all seven airlines at once); the free Economy tier is $0 and covers one airline with basic calculations only, no forecast attached. Our own Pro plan is $7.50 a month. SkyCalc does not cover hotel loyalty programmes, and its own FAQ lists international airline support as coming soon rather than shipped, so if you hold British Airways Avios, Marriott Bonvoy or Lufthansa Miles and More alongside a US airline, it will not see the rest of your portfolio. Like Miles Mosaic, it does not ask you to connect your airline accounts: its own FAQ states plainly that you manually input balances and trips, and its privacy policy lists only a name, email address and an optional photo as the personal information it collects. It is a Progressive Web App today, with a native app described as planned for the future rather than live.
Who SkyCalc suits, and who we suit better
The short version, before the detail below. We would rather send you to the right tool than win a signup you regret.
SkyCalc is a good fit for
- Anyone whose whole loyalty portfolio sits inside SkyCalc's seven supported US airlines and wants the cheapest possible year-end forecast: SkyCalc's $5-a-month Professional plan does that job for less than our Pro plan
- Someone who only needs one US airline tracked for free with no forecast attached, which SkyCalc's Economy tier covers at no cost
- Readers who have no hotel programmes and no plans to hold one, and so would never notice the coverage gap
Miles Mosaic is the better fit for
- Travellers holding hotel programmes, international airlines, or both alongside their US carriers, forecast in one place
- Anyone who wants an alert when a tracked balance or membership is nearing its own expiry date, not only a status-deadline countdown
- Readers who want a dated, publicly corrected rules engine behind every earning rule and tier threshold, not just a projection
Frequently asked
Is SkyCalc cheaper than Miles Mosaic?
Its entry paid tier is. SkyCalc's Professional plan is $5 a month and Executive is $9, against our $7.50 Pro plan. Its free Economy tier tracks one airline with no forecast; our Explorer plan is free forever and shows your current status and this quarter's projection.
Does SkyCalc forecast elite status the way Miles Mosaic does?
For its seven supported US airlines, yes, in a genuinely similar way: its Status Planner and Year-End Forecast fold in the trips you add and project where you will land, on its Professional and Executive tiers. It does not cover hotel programmes or, as of today, international airlines.
Does SkyCalc require my airline account password?
No. Its own FAQ states you manually input your balances and trips rather than connecting an account, the same model Miles Mosaic uses. Neither product asks for or stores loyalty credentials.
Which one should I use if I only fly American, Delta or United?
If those are your only programmes and price is the deciding factor, SkyCalc's Professional plan at $5 a month is a reasonable choice. Miles Mosaic becomes the better fit once you add a hotel programme, an international airline, or want expiry alerts alongside the status forecast.
Try Miles Mosaic free
Explorer is free forever and needs no card. Pro is $7.50 a month during the launch promo, $14.99 after that. There is no automatic free trial; if Pro is not for you, the refund inside the first 14 days is one button in your billing settings.
How we compare
Claims about SkyCalc on this page reflect its publicly available documentation, features and pricing as last checked on . We compare on the dimensions that matter for cross-programme loyalty tracking: what each tool tracks, how it obtains your data, elite-status forecasting, pricing, and the privacy and credential model. We do not exhaustively test every paid feature of competing products, and programmes change their terms, so confirm current details on each provider's own site. This page is updated when a competitor changes its public terms.
This comparison was built from SkyCalc's own public site, FAQ and privacy policy at skycalc.app, and from Miles Mosaic's own product behaviour, both checked 16 August 2026. We did not create a paid SkyCalc account, so the exact numbers a Professional or Executive subscriber sees inside its Planner are described from SkyCalc's own marketing pages rather than a hands-on paid test. SkyCalc is a young, actively marketed product and its airline list, pricing and app-store availability can change quickly; confirm current details on its own site before deciding.
