# Wallbox vs ChargerSync(legacy)

The clearest difference is rating: ChargerSync(legacy) at 5.0 against Wallbox's 4.5. ChargerSync(legacy) also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Wallbox's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ChargerSync(legacy) holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wallbox has 3.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Wallbox's written reviews are positive against 11% of ChargerSync(legacy)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wallbox ships an update fortnightly, ChargerSync(legacy) every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
