# Open Charge Map vs EV Navigation

The clearest difference is rating: Open Charge Map at 5.0 against EV Navigation's 2.7. Open Charge Map also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). EV Navigation's advantage is review sentiment (34% vs 18%) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EV Navigation sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Open Charge Map asks for nothing beyond the download.

Open Charge Map holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV Navigation has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Open Charge Map's written reviews are positive against 34% of EV Navigation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
