A CPO running 10–200 chargers in 2026 has roughly five credible CPMS choices: EnerGo Connect, Driivz, AmpEco, Monta, and ChargeLab. Everyone else is either too narrow (single-OEM stacks), too large (enterprise utility platforms quoting €100k+ implementations), or too new (sub-12-month vendors without a public production network). What follows is a side-by-side of these five, written by one of the vendors but with every claim sourced. Read it the way you'd read a Wikipedia comparison table — useful for shortlisting, not a substitute for a sandbox login.

EnerGo Connect

The CPMS that publishes its prices.

Positioning
Operator-grade CPMS built by an operator. Small/mid CPO focus (10–200 chargers). Sells on transparent pricing + speed to live.
Pricing
€29 per charger per month + 3% per session. No platform fee. No setup fee. Same number worldwide; volume discounts at 200 / 1,000 chargers; emerging-market parity available.
Best for
Small/mid CPOs who want to know the price before they have to sit through a demo. Operators in markets where incumbents quote six-month implementation projects but still need OCPP 2.0.1, OCPI 2.2, and a real multi-tenant model.
Worst for
CPOs who specifically need a long-established North American vendor with utility-side integrations (try ChargeLab), or who want the cheapest possible self-serve sign-up for a sub-10-charger network (try Monta).
Switching to Connect
Two-week paid pilot on up to 5 of your real chargers. OCPP endpoint switch + in-flight session continuity. Driver-app cutover coordinated; user database import (with consent) supported. Typical migration: 9 days for ~40 chargers.

Driivz

Enterprise CPMS, OCA-certified.

Positioning
ABB-owned enterprise CPMS. Sells primarily to large utilities, oil majors, and Tier-1 CPOs. OCA-certified OCPP 2.0.1 implementation.
Pricing
Not published. Independent buyer guides and prior RFP responses indicate enterprise-tier pricing with €100k+ implementation projects and sales-led negotiation per deal.
Best for
Tier-1 CPOs with multi-country networks running 1,000+ chargers and an in-house procurement team comfortable with RFP-led sales cycles. Utilities adding charging to an existing energy-services portfolio.
Worst for
Small and mid CPOs who can't justify a six-figure implementation. Operators on a clock — sales cycles measured in months. Anyone who needs published pricing to budget.
Switching to Connect
Migration projects from Driivz tend to be straightforward at the OCPP layer (the spec is the spec) but laborious at the data-layer (CDR exports, user/account exports). Plan ~30–60 days for a 50-charger network. Connect imports user databases with consent.

AmpEco

European white-label CPMS.

Positioning
Bulgaria-based white-label CPMS, growing presence in Western and Central Europe. Sells to mid-market CPOs and utility-affiliated networks.
Pricing
Not published. Sales-led pricing with implementation cost varying by network size. Independent reports indicate enterprise-tier pricing for white-label deployments.
Best for
Mid-market European CPOs who want a white-label app and are comfortable with sales-led pricing. Operators with EU-language requirements and a multi-quarter implementation runway.
Worst for
CPOs who want a published price. Operators outside Europe who don't want EU-region hosting by default.
Switching to Connect
Similar shape to Driivz migrations. OCPP layer is clean; data exports require negotiation. Connect's pilot model lets you run both systems in parallel during cutover.

Monta

Self-serve EV charging app + CPMS, AC-heavy.

Positioning
Danish app-first company with a CPMS bolt-on. Strong consumer-side brand. Best known for AC home/destination charging at scale.
Pricing
Per-socket fee €5 (AC) – €8 (DC) per month + 2% transaction fee + platform fee from €500/month (Monta Business). Published on monta.com/pricing.
Best for
Solo operators and very small CPOs (sub-10 chargers) who want a same-day self-serve onboarding and don't mind the Monta brand being visible to drivers. AC-heavy destination networks.
Worst for
Operators who want a fully white-labelled app with no Monta brand visible. CPOs running DC-fast networks where the per-socket maths starts to lose vs Connect's flat €29. Anyone who needs deep multi-tenant for sub-brands.
Switching to Connect
Monta's data exports are reasonably clean. Moving 30–50 chargers to Connect is typically a one-week project including driver-app cutover (because Monta's branded app stays with Monta — the cutover involves your drivers downloading the new app).

ChargeLab

North American white-label CPMS.

Positioning
Toronto-based white-label CPMS focused on North American operators, utilities, and hardware OEMs. Co-founders from Tesla and Daimler.
Pricing
Not published. Sales-led. Independent reports indicate per-charger pricing with a platform tier, in the range of comparable North American vendors.
Best for
North American CPOs and utility-affiliated networks who need a CPMS aligned with US/Canadian compliance norms (NEVI, etc.) and have a procurement process geared for sales-led vendors.
Worst for
Operators outside North America (limited regional footprint). CPOs who want a published price. Networks running primarily AC home/destination chargers (ChargeLab is more DC/network-operator-focused).
Switching to Connect
If you're inside North America and need NEVI compliance specifically, ChargeLab is a credible direct competitor and migration is a real project. If you're outside NA, Connect's regional flexibility is the bigger wedge.

Which should you pick?

  1. If You're a small or mid CPO (10–200 chargers) who wants a published price and a charger live in 24 hours.

    Then Pick EnerGo Connect. Start with the two-week paid pilot. If we don't move the needle, walk away — no exclusivity, no separation fee.

  2. If You're a Tier-1 CPO running 1,000+ chargers across multiple countries with a procurement team and a multi-quarter implementation budget.

    Then Pick Driivz or AmpEco. You'll get utility-grade integrations and OCA-certified OCPP at a cost that makes sense at your scale. Connect's wedge is sharper at small/mid scale.

  3. If You're a solo operator with sub-10 AC chargers and want a same-day self-serve sign-up.

    Then Pick Monta. The Monta-branded app is fine for your scale; the per-socket pricing is competitive below the threshold where Connect's flat €29 starts to win.

  4. If You're a North American operator with NEVI-compliance requirements specifically.

    Then Pick ChargeLab or shortlist us both. Their regional alignment is real; our pricing transparency is real. Run both demos and decide on the data.

  5. If You're operating in MENA, Africa, LATAM, or any market where the incumbents quote six-month implementation projects before they'll discuss pricing.

    Then Pick EnerGo Connect. Regional flexibility (EU / UK / UAE / KSA / Brazil / India hosting) + locale-pluggable language stack + locally-tunable payment rails are core to the product, not enterprise add-ons.

Comparison FAQ

Why isn't ChargeStar / ChargePoint / etc. in this comparison?

ChargePoint is primarily a North American hardware + network operator, not a CPMS sold to other CPOs. ChargeStar and similar single-OEM stacks are coupled to specific hardware. We shortlisted the five vendors a hardware-agnostic small/mid CPO would actually evaluate.

How can EnerGo charge €29/charger/mo and still be operator-grade?

Because Connect is the same software powering our own production network. The marginal cost of adding a tenant is small; the marginal revenue is real. We make the unit economics work by being honest about pricing rather than by hiding it behind a sales cycle.

What about the 3% per-session fee — isn't that high?

Compared to Monta's 2%, it's higher. Compared to enterprise CPMSes that bake equivalent value into platform fees and implementation costs, it's lower in absolute total cost of ownership for sub-1,000-charger networks. Run the maths on your last 12 months of sessions and we'll model it on the call.

Is the comparison table biased?

Yes — we wrote it. We tried hard to make every claim sourced and dated, and to be honest about where we're a worse fit. If you find something wrong, email [email protected]. We update this page rather than hiding mistakes.

Can I see your software in production before signing anything?

Yes. We run our own production network on Connect, and the two-week paid pilot puts you on the actual production platform with your real chargers. No staging-only demos.

What about hardware lock-in?

None. Connect is hardware-agnostic at the protocol level. If your chargers speak OCPP 1.6 or 2.0.1 — which covers every credible vendor on the market — they work. The supported-hardware list on the home page is illustrative, not exclusive.

Can we host the platform ourselves?

Yes, on the enterprise tier. Sovereign-cloud (EU, UK, UAE, KSA, Brazil, India) and on-prem deployments are available under the talk-to-sales tier. Standard tier is hosted in EU (Frankfurt) by default.

Is the comparison data going to stay current?

We re-verify pricing claims every quarter and the page footer carries a 'last updated' date. If a competitor publishes new pricing or features, we update within a business day of being told. This page is part of our public-pricing posture — we want it to be the most accurate public CPMS comparison on the web.
