Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EV Charging Stations Map+ at 4.7 against WattsUp's 2.0. EV Charging Stations Map+ also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). WattsUp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EV Charging Stations Map+ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. WattsUp asks for nothing beyond the download.
EV Charging Stations Map+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV Charging Stations Map+ has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of WattsUp's written reviews are positive against 24% of EV Charging Stations Map+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WattsUp ships an update every 6 weeks, EV Charging Stations Map+ weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
