Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EVPal at 60% against EVmatch's 29%. EVPal also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). EVmatch's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (112 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EVmatch holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EVmatch has 112 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of EVmatch's written reviews are positive against 60% of EVPal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EVmatch ships an update every 2 months, EVPal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
