Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ChargePoint® at 4.3 against OpConnect's 3.6. ChargePoint® also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 239) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). OpConnect's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, 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

ChargePoint® holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChargePoint® has 19K ratings behind it against 239, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of ChargePoint®'s written reviews are positive against 14% of OpConnect'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, OpConnect every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
