Refil · Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know

Is Refil free?

Yes. Downloading and using Refil is free: you see the map with the cheapest station for your fuel at no cost. Refil Pro is an optional subscription that widens the search radius and unlocks extras.

How does Refil find the cheapest station?

In the US there is no official price feed: the stations come from OpenStreetMap and the prices from drivers who report them, per gallon. Elsewhere, fuel prices come from each country's official sources (MITECO in Spain, data.gouv in France, Tankerkönig in Germany, MIMIT in Italy, DGEG in Portugal, E-Control in Austria, goriva.si in Slovenia, the chains' own real-time feeds in Denmark and the Secretaría de Energía in Argentina); Switzerland is community-reported too. The map highlights the cheapest option in green.

Where does it work?

In the US, Refil shows gas stations — with prices reported by drivers, per gallon — and EV chargers. Fuel prices also cover 15 countries across Europe, the Americas and Türkiye: the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Denmark, Argentina, Australia, Chile, Mexico and Türkiye — 16 countries in total. More countries are coming soon.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Refil works with no sign-up or account. We use your location to find gas stations and EV chargers near you; we never sell it or use it for ads.

Does it work for electric cars too?

Yes. It shows chargers in all 16 countries, with filters by connector (NACS, CCS, J1772, CHAdeMO…) and charging speed, and even real-time status in France.

Does it work on Apple Watch?

Yes. Refil has a watch app with the cheapest price and a watch-face complication. The watch's Radar queries from its own location, so you don't need to pull out your phone — though the watch does need to be paired with an iPhone that has Refil installed.

Why does it ask for “Always” location?

You don't have to: with “While Using” Refil works in full. “Always” lets your iPhone detect, on the device itself, that you filled up at one of your saved stations and ask whether to log it. With “Always”, the app can also update your approximate location (rounded to about 1 km) in the background for nearby price alerts.
