Please do not misunderstand me and some of the things I might say, but I am guessing that you are flying Cessna prop planes?
The cheapest way to track maintenance would to copy your chapter 5 (monthly and hourly and do not forget the engine(s)). Take the the chapt 5 and start entering it into an excel format with the last interval inspected and then the next internal due. It is a lot of work but once you have it all in there it will become easier to maintain.
I usually deal with larger aircraft and have maintained them with the manufacturer's recomended programs, like: CAMP, CESCOM, CMP, and CIMMS (which is now CAMP)
Although I do not think much for the company or the aircraft, Gulfstream has the best maintenance tracking system out there and the best support team of analyst.
I know that there are many lesser known programs, but something you have to think about, and hear this well, what maintenance tracking program is your aircraft going to be on whem you go to sell it? And, would you want to buy an aircraft that was maintained with the cheapest tracking system?
That might not be as big of a deal when you are talking about a 150, but when you try to sell a GIV that is not on CMP.....you will be taking a BIG loss.
