Everything stays on your phone and in your own iCloud. No ads, no account, no subscription. One active vehicle is free with every feature and no limit on entries. Pump & Plug Pro is a one-time purchase for a bigger garage, the history report, and more app icons and colors. LOG AT THE PUMP OR THE PLUG • One form shaped by your car: fill-ups for gas, diesel and hybrids, charges for electric cars, both for plug-in hybrids • Enter any two of quantity, price per unit and total, and the third is worked out • Partial fill-ups and missed entries are handled the right way, so your numbers stay honest • A reading that breaks the odometer order is caught before it is saved, and the form shows which entry it clashes with • Edit anything, and undo a delete SEE WHAT YOUR CAR REALLY COSTS • Miles per gallon, L/100 km, km/L or MPG UK for every segment, the last 90 days and lifetime • Charging efficiency in mi/kWh, kWh/100 mi, km/kWh or kWh/100 km, measured from the plug • Energy cost and total cost per mile or km for the last 30 days, 12 months and lifetime • Plug-in hybrids see blended figures over all the distance tracked, and the share of energy cost spent on gas vs electricity • Electric cars see the average price per kWh at home, at public Level 2 and at DC fast chargers, and what the same kWh would have cost at home SERVICE, EXPENSES AND REMINDERS • A service log with built-in and custom types, shops, costs, notes and up to five receipt photos • Expenses: insurance, registration, parking, tolls, loan or lease, fines, accessories and more • Reminders by months, by distance or both, whichever comes first. You type the interval; the app never guesses one • Logging a service marks its reminder done and sets the next one • A notification at 9:00 AM on the due day, with a heads-up 3, 7 or 14 days before STATS AND CHARTS • Efficiency over time with the average line, cost per month by category, price paid per gallon, liter or kWh, energy and cost by charging place, and lifetime totals • 3 months, 12 months or all time • Every chart has a spoken summary, an audio graph and a plain table of the same numbers BRING YOUR DATA • Import your fill-ups from Fuelly, Drivvo and Fuelio CSV exports, with a preview of what will be saved and what will be skipped • Import any spreadsheet as CSV by mapping its columns • Export everything as CSV at any time, free QUICK ACCESS • A Car widget for the Home Screen, StandBy and the Lock Screen: your car's last efficiency, cost per mile and next reminder, with a button to log • A Log Fill-Up or Charge control for Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action button • iPad layouts and iPhone Duo support on both displays APPLE WATCH • Your garage on your wrist through your own iCloud: the last efficiency, cost per mile and next reminder • Quick log a fill-up or a charge with the odometer, the quantity and the total • A complication and a Smart Stack widget YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Your garage syncs to your own private iCloud, so a new iPhone, an iPad or a reinstall brings every entry back.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pump & Plug at none against ParcelPath's shown. ParcelPath's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
