# PlugShare vs Quick

The clearest difference is rating: PlugShare at 4.7 against Quick's 3.2. PlugShare also leads on ratings volume (142K vs 16) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). Quick's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PlugShare sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Quick asks for nothing beyond the download.

PlugShare holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlugShare has 142K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of PlugShare's written reviews are positive against 60% of Quick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PlugShare ships an update every 3 weeks, Quick every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
