Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plug at 63% against EDP Charge's 0%. EDP Charge's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EDP Charge holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EDP Charge has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Plug's written reviews are positive against 0% of EDP Charge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Plug ships an update fortnightly, EDP Charge every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
