If you charge your vehicle with different apps and want to control in one place how much you've recharged and what it cost you, Maxwell is for you. You can manage several vehicles, multiple charging points, different rates... In addition, if you're a Tronity user, you can use its API to download your vehicle's data or the recharges you've made and personalize them a little more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Maxwell EV at none against ChargeLog's shown. ChargeLog's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
