Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Electromaps at 4.8 against Chargemap's 4.2. Electromaps also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). Chargemap's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 30%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chargemap sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Electromaps asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Electromaps holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 175 and 342 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Chargemap's written reviews are positive against 30% of Electromaps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Chargemap ships an update every 9 days, Electromaps fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
