Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EV Notifier at 100% against ChargeLab's 35%. EV Notifier also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0). ChargeLab's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement 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 Notifier sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.00 per month. ChargeLab asks for nothing beyond the download.
EV Notifier holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChargeLab has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of ChargeLab's written reviews are positive against 100% of EV Notifier's.
ChargeLab ships an update fortnightly, EV Notifier every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 4, 2026 respectively.
