Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EVcharge at 5.0 against DRIVECO's 4.6. EVcharge also leads on device support (3 vs 1). DRIVECO's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 28%) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). 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.
EVcharge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DRIVECO has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of DRIVECO's written reviews are positive against 28% of EVcharge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DRIVECO ships an update every 3 weeks, EVcharge fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
