# EV Companion vs CurbSense

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.

Both are free to download. EV Companion sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and CurbSense sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CurbSense holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV Companion has 639 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of EV Companion's written reviews are positive against 100% of CurbSense's.

EV Companion ships an update fortnightly, CurbSense weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
