AmpEco built a credible European white-label CPMS, then put it behind a sales-led funnel and a multi-quarter implementation. We publish €29/charger/month + 3%/session, ship the white-label app in a week, and run a two-week paid pilot on your real chargers. Below: every claim, dated and sourced.

AmpEco is a serious product. The wedge isn't 'we're better at every feature' — it's that we sell the product like 2026 SaaS and they sell it like 2015 enterprise software.

Four reasons, all of them about commercial posture rather than feature parity.
AmpEco asks you to book a call before you see a number. We publish €29/charger/month + 3%/session and an interactive model on the page. If your CFO can't put a number in a spreadsheet without a sales call, the procurement loop stretches into quarters.
AmpEco's white-label deployments are implementation projects. Connect's white-label is a published app skin: hand us your brand assets and we ship to App Store and Play within a week, with the operator portal already live.
AmpEco demos run on staging tenants. Connect's pilot puts up to five of your real chargers on the production stack for two weeks. You learn what the product actually does under your load, not what the demo team scripts.
AmpEco contracts are multi-year. Connect is month-to-month with full data export on exit. The strongest version of any vendor relationship is one where leaving is cheap, and we've designed for that.
Two real cases where AmpEco is the better call.
AmpEco has spent six years selling deeply into European utility-affiliated CPOs. If your buying centre includes a regulated utility's procurement team and you need a vendor with a thick reference book of European enterprise deployments, AmpEco's brand and reference set are stronger than ours today.
AmpEco bundles substantial professional services into their deployments — integrations with billing systems, ERPs, CRM tooling, custom reporting. If you want that level of bespoke integration and you're willing to pay for it, AmpEco is set up to deliver it. Connect's posture is product-led — we ship an OpenAPI 3.1 surface and let you (or a partner) integrate.
AmpEco does not publish a price, so the rival column is a market-derived estimate based on third-party buyer reports. Bring your AmpEco quote to the demo and we'll model both columns precisely.
Connect's economics are honest at small scale. Enterprise CPMSes will sell you a deal here, but they're not designed for it.
This is the canonical AmpEco vs Connect deal shape. We'll model your real session distribution on the call.
The upper edge of Connect's sweet spot. Above 200 chargers we discount; above 1,000 the unit economics rebalance.
Real timeline from a Q2 2026 migration plan (60 chargers across two countries). We do the import. You verify and approve each step.
Total: 9 working days, end-to-end
We map your AmpEco tenant, tariffs, user database, and OCPI partners. Read-only — no production change. Written audit by end of day.
Your EnerGo Connect tenant is provisioned in EU-Frankfurt (or your chosen region). Charger metadata, tariffs, and user database are imported. Driver app branding is applied to the staging build.
Your chargers' OCPP endpoint is switched to Connect's backend, one cabinet at a time, during off-peak hours. Each cabinet is verified live within 30 minutes.
Both systems are live for 48 hours. We reconcile sessions, payments, and roaming events row-by-row.
Driver app published to App Store and Play. AmpEco tenant decommissioned. Archive snapshot delivered. We stay on-call for the first session of every new day for two weeks.
No — it's a credible product. The argument isn't about features, it's about commercial posture. AmpEco gates pricing, runs sales-led implementations, and locks customers into multi-year contracts. We don't. If you prefer the enterprise model, AmpEco is a fine choice. If you want SaaS economics, that's us.
We ship an OpenAPI 3.1 surface and a small, named integrations team. For deep ERP / billing / CRM integration we work with regional partners. AmpEco's bundled pro-services model is a different shape; if you specifically want that shape, that's a vote for them.
Yes. OCPI 2.2 is a clean handshake. Hubject, Gireve, and custom hubs are supported. During migration we coordinate the handshake with each partner — you don't have to re-onboard with Hubject.
Zero. OCPP re-pointing happens during off-peak windows and per-cabinet. In-flight sessions complete on the old endpoint; the next session starts on the new one. Driver app cut-over is a separate scheduled day.
There isn't one in the sense of hidden fees. The catch is segment fit: at 10–200 chargers the economics are sharp; below 10, Monta is cheaper; above 1,000, you should benchmark Driivz and AmpEco's enterprise tiers alongside us. We tell you that on the call.
ampeco.com does not publish a price. Independent buyer guides (AmpUp 2024, EVMagazine 2025) describe enterprise-tier pricing. If AmpEco publishes a different number, email us — we update this page within a business day.
Bring your AmpEco quote (or your last 12 months of session data) to a 30-minute call. We'll model your Connect bill against it on the call.
