Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EVPal at 60% against Electrify America's 10%. EVPal also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.2). Electrify America's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (27K vs 6). 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.
Electrify America holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electrify America has 27K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Electrify America's written reviews are positive against 60% of EVPal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Electrify America ships an update monthly, EVPal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
