Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Elecq at 100% against Tesla's 61%. Elecq also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Tesla's advantage is ratings volume (129K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
