# EV Connect vs PowerFlex

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EV Connect at 60% against PowerFlex's 20%. PowerFlex's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, 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.

PowerFlex holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6.8K and 5.2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of EV Connect's written reviews are positive against 20% of PowerFlex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EV Connect ships an update every 2 months, PowerFlex monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
