Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tesla at every 2 weeks against easyCharging's every 7 months. Tesla also leads on ratings volume (123K vs 2) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). easyCharging's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
