Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: evcc.io at 5.0 against Anker Power's 4.5. evcc.io also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 70%). Anker Power's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
