Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TCP Smart at 40% against EZO Charging's 20%. TCP Smart also leads on ratings volume (66 vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). EZO Charging's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
EZO Charging holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TCP Smart has 66 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of TCP Smart's written reviews are positive against 20% of EZO Charging's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TCP Smart ships an update every 3 months, EZO Charging every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
