Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CurbSense at 100% against EV Companion's 13%. CurbSense also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). EV Companion's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (639 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
