LoadOut has one paid tier. Pro adds analysis, devices, cloud, and AI on top of a free app that already carries the whole workspace and the full solver. It never takes a feature away, and it never charges you to get your own data out.

Pro at a glance
The five groups below are the app's own paywall, in its own words. Each card names the feature exactly as the app does.
Ballistics and Analysis
Full Analytics
See the whole flight of the bullet. Drop and wind charts at every distance, what it still hits with when it arrives, and how far off you can be on range and still connect.
Hit Probability Map
Your odds of hitting, drawn on the target. Feed it how well you shoot and it shows where the hits actually land at any distance.
Internal Ballistics Estimator
Get a rough idea of the speed and pressure a load will make before you build it. An estimate only, so always check published load data.
Load Development
Work up a charge properly. Run an OCW, a ladder, or a Satterlee test and LoadOut does the maths and points out the accurate charges for you.
Full Group Analysis
Everything about a group, not just how wide it is. Average distance from center, widest spread, and how repeatable the group really was.
Shooter Stats
Find out whether you are actually getting better. Puts your last 30, 60, or 90 days of shooting side by side so you can see the trend.
Range Day and Field
Photorealistic Backdrops
Practice your holds looking at a photorealistic view of a real range instead of a drawing. The scope view, all 55 reticles, and the targets stay free.
Moving Target Trainer
Practice on a target that runs. LoadOut works out how far in front to aim, you set your hold, and it counts you down to the shot.
Live Weather Pull
Grab the temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, and elevation for where you are standing in one tap, straight into your solution.
Automatic Altitude
Works out the air pressure from how high up you are, so your solution matches the range you are on rather than the one you saved it at.
Devices and Import
Weather Meter Capture
Read your Kestrel or WEATHERmeter over Bluetooth instead of squinting at it and typing. One unlock covers every meter you own, whatever the brand. Typing the conditions in by hand stays free.
Shot Timer Capture
Pair a Shooters Global SG Timer and every split lands in your record as you fire, at the timer's own millisecond times, joined to the firearm and load you were shooting. Import the sessions it stored, and start or stop it from your phone. Reviewing and reconciling your strings stays free.
Garmin Xero Import
Bring your Xero speeds straight in, either from a saved file or from a photo of the screen, so you are not copying numbers by hand.
Cloud Sync and Backup
Your loads on every device you own, and a backup you can restore from. It goes to your own iCloud, Google Drive, or OneDrive, locked with your passphrase before it leaves your phone.
AI and Search
AI Smart Import
Photograph your handwritten load notes and get a filled in recipe back. It only ever sees that photo, never the rest of your data.
Search by Meaning
Find a load by what you meant rather than the exact words you typed. It runs on your phone. Ordinary search stays free.
Your Own Voice Commands
Teach LoadOut the words you actually say, so a spoken command works the way you talk instead of the way an app expects.
Voice Speed and Blending
Set how quickly LoadOut reads a solution out to you, and mix two voices until it sounds right. Having it read aloud at all is free.
Your Data, Your Way
Unlimited Firearms
Keep every rifle in your safe on hand. The free tier holds two.
Unlimited Ballistic Profiles
Save the full setup for every load you shoot and switch between them. The free tier holds two.
Unlimited Custom Fields
Track anything the built in fields miss by adding your own. The free tier gives you three.
Custom Layouts
Build the form you actually want. Move fields around, rename them, group them into sections, and save as many versions as you like.
Photos on Everything
Put a picture on every rifle, load, tool, and lot of brass so your library looks like your bench.
