Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pepco at 4.7 against Philadelphia Utilities's 3.0. Pepco also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (22K vs 2). Philadelphia Utilities's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pepco holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pepco has 22K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Pepco's written reviews are positive against 50% of Philadelphia Utilities's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pepco ships an update every 2 months, Philadelphia Utilities every 32 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
