Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PowerFlex has 5.2K ratings behind it against 405, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of PowerFlex's written reviews are positive against 24% of JOLT Electric Vehicle Charging's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
