# ChargePoint® vs Electrify America

The clearest difference is rating: Electrify America at 4.6 against ChargePoint®'s 4.3. ChargePoint®'s advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

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.

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