Monta is the right call below 10 chargers. Above that, the per-socket maths plus the platform fee plus the Monta-branded app start to lose against a flat €29/charger/month + 3%/session and your own white-labelled app. Below: the crossover point, dated and sourced.

Monta is the only direct competitor that publishes a price. Respect. The honest answer to 'which one?' depends on your scale and whether you want your brand on the driver app.
| EnerGo Connect | Monta | |
|---|---|---|
| Public pricing | Yes — €29/charger/mo + 3%/session. | Yes — €5–8/socket/mo + 2% + €500+/mo platform fee. |
| Typical contract length | Month-to-month. | Month-to-month available. |
| Time from kickoff to first live charger | 24 hours once OCPP credentials are in. | Same-day for self-serve sign-up. |
| Implementation cost | €0 — self-serve onboarding. | €0 for the self-serve tier. |
| Target segment | 10–200 chargers. | Sub-10 chargers; AC-heavy destination networks; solo operators. |
| OCPP versions | 1.6 + 2.0.1. | 1.6 + 2.0.1. |
| OCPI roaming | 2.2 — Hubject, Gireve, custom. | OCPI supported; roaming partner ecosystem is consumer-app-led. |
| White-label driver app | Yes — your brand, week-one ship. | No — drivers use the Monta-branded app. |
| Multi-tenant model | From the first table — sub-brands native. | Limited — tenant model exists, but the consumer app is Monta-branded. |
| Hardware support | Hardware-agnostic (any OCPP charger). | Hardware-agnostic (any OCPP charger). |
| Public changelog | Yes — per-release, with issue keys. | Marketing-side changelog; not per-issue. |
| Hosting regions | EU default; UK/UAE/KSA/Brazil/India on request. | EU-centric. |
| Sandbox / self-serve trial | Two-week paid pilot on your real chargers. | Self-serve sign-up; free tier. |
| Walk-away terms | Month-to-month, full data export, no fee. | Self-serve; data export available. |
Three reasons, all of them about who owns the customer relationship and what the maths look like once your network grows past hobby scale.
Monta's app is Monta's app. Drivers download Monta, see Monta's logo, build a relationship with Monta. If you're a CPO building a network you intend to be a brand, that's a leak you can't seal. Connect ships your branded app to App Store and Play under your developer account; drivers see your logo, your colours, your loyalty terms.
Monta's per-socket pricing plus the €500+/month platform fee plus the 2% transaction fee adds up nonlinearly. The crossover where Connect's flat €29/charger/month becomes cheaper is somewhere between 15 and 30 chargers depending on your AC/DC mix and session volume. We do the maths together on the call.
If you're running multiple brands or operating-on-behalf-of relationships (franchise networks, hotel groups, retail chains), Connect's multi-tenant model handles it natively. Monta's model is single-brand consumer-app-led; sub-brand support is constrained by their app shape.
Two real cases where Monta is the right call. We send them business when these are true.
If you're running fewer than ten chargers — a single hotel, a small fleet depot, a destination AC site — the per-socket maths is sharper than our flat €29. Monta's same-day self-serve sign-up and free tier are honestly designed for that segment. We don't have a counter-offer here and we don't try to.
If your network's commercial model assumes drivers will find you through Monta's app (i.e. you're optimising for Monta's installed-base distribution, not building your own brand), then being in Monta's network is a feature, not a bug. The trade-off is exactly that brand ownership; if you don't want it, take it.
Real numbers. Monta's pricing is public, so this is a precise comparison rather than an estimate.
Monta wins decisively at this scale. Take it.
Monta still wins on raw cost, but Connect's white-label and multi-tenant start to matter to operators positioning for growth.
Monta still cheaper on the spreadsheet, but the crossover is approaching: at this scale you're losing brand to Monta's app, and that's hard to put a number on.
Even here Monta's per-socket maths is cheaper on spreadsheet. The argument for Connect at this scale is brand ownership + multi-tenant + your own driver relationship, not raw price.
Real timeline for a CPO moving 30 chargers off Monta to build their own white-labelled brand. We do the import. You verify and approve each step.
Total: 9 working days, end-to-end
We map your Monta operator account, chargers, tariffs, and active users. Read-only — no production change. Written audit by end of day. We are honest with you about which users are loyal to the Monta app vs. your brand.
Your EnerGo Connect tenant is provisioned. White-label app build is prepared with your branding. Apple/Google developer-account work starts in parallel (this is the longest pole if you don't already have accounts).
Your chargers' OCPP endpoint is switched from Monta's backend to Connect's, one cabinet at a time, during off-peak hours.
Both backends run for 48 hours. We reconcile sessions. We send opt-in emails to your existing Monta-app users inviting them to your new branded app (with credit/loyalty preserved at your discretion).
Your branded app is published to App Store and Play. Monta tenant is decommissioned. Final session export delivered. We stay on-call for the first session of every new day for two weeks.
Some. The honest answer is that drivers who installed Monta because of Monta's brand may not migrate to your branded app. We help you design the opt-in offer (credit, loyalty, early-bird tariff) that maximises migration, but you should plan on a 50–80% migration rate, not 100%. Above the crossover scale, the brand and unit-economics gain is worth the leakage.
Under ~20 chargers, almost always. 20–50 chargers, often. Above 50, it gets situational and the non-price arguments (your own brand, your own driver relationship, native multi-tenant) become the deciding factors. We'll model both columns on your real session data.
Yes — we encourage it. The parallel-run window (days 7–8 in the migration above) is real, and some operators stretch it longer. We don't charge by the day of parallel run; you pay for the chargers reporting to Connect.
Real. If a meaningful share of your sessions come from Monta-app discovery (drivers finding your chargers because they're browsing Monta), leaving is a discovery hit. We model this with you. For many operators the answer is: list a subset of chargers as a roaming partner of Monta even after migrating, so you keep some Monta-discovery upside without paying Monta for the whole network.
We ship a configurable Flutter app (iOS + Android) with your brand assets — logo, colours, app store metadata, push-notification copy. Your developer account, your app store listing, your reviews. We handle the build and submission; you own the account. Subsequent updates are pushed by us through your account on a release cadence you control.
monta.com/pricing and monta.com/business. Monta's pricing is public — we appreciate that, and we replicate it faithfully. If Monta updates their pricing, this page updates within a business day. Email [email protected] if you spot a stale number.
Bring your Monta dashboard's last 12 months of session data to a 30-minute call. We'll show you the exact number of chargers at which Connect becomes cheaper for you, and what your bill looks like the day after.
