ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Electrify America holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19K and 27K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of ChargePoint®'s written reviews are positive against 10% of Electrify America's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ChargePoint® ships an update fortnightly, Electrify America monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
