Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EV Notifier at 100% against ev.energy's 30%. EV Notifier also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). ev.energy's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. ev.energy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and EV Notifier sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EV Notifier holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ev.energy has 3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of ev.energy's written reviews are positive against 100% of EV Notifier's.
ev.energy ships an update every 2 weeks, EV Notifier every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
