Free app; pay via a Monta Wallet (balance, topped up automatically from a linked card) or directly by payment card. At other operators' roaming charge points Monta says it takes 'a small 8% cut' of the charging price for roaming costs (blog, last updated 26 May 2025). Operators set their own prices and may charge kWh, time, session or idle fees. The app shows a cost breakdown before, during and after charging. Charging with a linked RFID card triggers a pre-authorisation on the wallet.
Worked example
Extra cost per month on top of the charge point’s price at 100 kWh in 8 sessions at public chargers of €0.44 per kWh.
Cannot be worked out up front: this card charges its own price per charger, shown in the app.

Home charging: Not found on its own website.
Business: Monta is mainly a platform for charge point operators and businesses (charger management, subscription plans via the Monta Marketplace); operators can offer their own charging plans to drivers.
Good to know: Danish platform with a Dutch-language help centre; amounts may differ per country and operator. A Monta-issued RFID card and its cost were not found; you can link a card to your wallet.
