Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Chargefox at free against Ampol's free with in-app purchases. Chargefox also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Ampol's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
