Yes — the EzChargez app is completely free to download on both iOS and Android. There's no purchase price, no premium tier, and no paywall blocking core features.
What's free
- Downloading and installing the app
- Creating a driver or host account
- Browsing the host map and searching for chargers
- Messaging hosts before booking
- Listing your own charger as a host
How EzChargez actually makes money
Instead of subscription fees, EzChargez earns revenue through two mechanisms:
- Driver session fees — a transparent per-session charge added at checkout, shown clearly before you confirm a booking.
- Host platform fee — a small percentage taken from each completed session's host earnings, similar to how other marketplace apps operate.
This means there's no cost just to have the app installed and browse — you only pay when you actually book and complete a charging session, and hosts only pay a fee when they actually earn money.
No hidden subscription traps
There's no auto-renewing subscription to cancel, no trial period that quietly starts billing you, and no in-app purchases required to unlock basic functionality. For more on how costs are calculated per session, see how much it costs to charge and our hidden fees article.
Getting the most from the free app
Because there's no premium tier gating features, new users don't need to worry about which plan to pick or whether a feature requires an upgrade. Every tool — from map search and messaging to session tracking and host listing tools — is available to every account from day one. The only costs you'll ever see are the per-session fee when you book as a driver, and the platform fee automatically deducted from a completed session when you earn as a host.
Device requirements
EzChargez runs on most recent versions of iOS and Android. Keeping the app updated to the latest version ensures you have access to the newest features, the most accurate map data, and the latest security improvements, so it's worth turning on automatic updates in your device's app store settings.
