# Chargemap vs EV Navigation

The clearest difference is rating: Chargemap at 4.2 against EV Navigation's 2.6. Chargemap also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (56% vs 33%). EV Navigation's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chargemap sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and EV Navigation sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
