Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Mist Experience at free against Autel Charge's free with in-app purchases. Mist Experience also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 46%). Autel Charge's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
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.
Autel Charge holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Autel Charge has 1.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Mist Experience's written reviews are positive against 46% of Autel Charge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mist Experience ships an update every 3 months, Autel Charge every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
