Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Power Technology at 100% against ChargePoint®'s 13%. Power Technology also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). ChargePoint®'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (19K vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
