# Wallbox vs EV CALC

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EV CALC at 91% against Wallbox's 31%. EV CALC also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Wallbox's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Wallbox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wallbox has 3.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Wallbox's written reviews are positive against 91% of EV CALC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wallbox ships an update fortnightly, EV CALC every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
