Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Travel EV at 100% against EV's 50%. Travel EV also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.2). EV's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EV holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Travel EV's written reviews are positive against 50% of EV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Travel EV ships an update every 2 months, EV every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
