# EVCoDriver vs EV Companion

The clearest difference is rating: EVCoDriver at 5.0 against EV Companion's 4.2. EVCoDriver also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). EV Companion's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EV Companion sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. EVCoDriver asks for nothing beyond the download.

EVCoDriver holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV Companion has 638 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of EVCoDriver's written reviews are positive against 13% of EV Companion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EVCoDriver ships an update every 3 months, EV Companion fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 2, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
