OCPP Tool is a lightweight, fully local utility for commissioning EV chargers over Bluetooth using the BluFi protocol — no account, no cloud, and no data collection. Connect to a charger over Bluetooth and configure everything on-site: • Scan & connect — discover nearby BluFi-enabled chargers and connect in seconds, with live signal strength. • Secure channel — an encrypted handshake (Diffie–Hellman key exchange + AES) protects every command sent to the charger. • WiFi provisioning — configure Station mode (SSID, password, BSSID) or SoftAP mode, or scan the charger's nearby WiFi list and pick a network. • OCPP setup — write the OCPP WebSocket URL and ChargePoint Identity straight to the charger. • Cellular & network — set the LTE APN and choose the network preference (Auto / Ethernet / WiFi / 4G). • Status at a glance — read the device firmware version, WiFi connection status and live network state. • Custom data — send and receive raw payloads for advanced diagnostics. Built for installers, field technicians and developers who need a fast, reliable, offline way to bring chargers online. Privacy first: OCPP Tool has no backend and makes no network requests. Everything you enter is sent only to the charger over Bluetooth. Nothing is collected, stored or uploaded.

The clearest difference is ads: OCPP Tool at none against evstar's shown. OCPP Tool also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
