Ubitricity - Charging via the app more expensive than the scan and charge option

[megamac]

Can anyone explain why on earth it costs 32p/kWh to charge the car using the Ubitricity app, but only 24p/kWh to do it by scanning the QR code on the charing post from your mobile phone and launching it via the browser?

Why on earth would anyone pay 33% more than the lower tariff just to use the app?!?!

Same charging point, two different prices, and I would have expected the app one to be cheaper!!!

Taking advantage of easy of use?

using the webpage is quite easy too. On a 20-100% charge it is an extra £4.80

insane …

Might have something to do with the recent price increase from 24 to 32p. One system hasn't yet caught up with the other?
