Really depends.
If you have ubitricity near you then this is just a smart phone browser + a debit/credit card. I am a huge fan of this network, it's so damn reliable and the time to start charging from when you are plugged in is seconds (time to enter the card details and hit confirm). Additionally a street with 1 charging point tends to have 2-6 charging points dotted around, so it tends to be easy to find a space to charge.
If you have pod point near you then this is just an app, and a lot of pod points are free and the ones that bill are reasonable.
If not... then things like Source and BP Pulse start to require paid accounts and still they charge you for the electric (at way above market rates).
YMMV, I tend to filter Zap Map to a few networks and stick to those (Ubitricity and Pod Point are the ones that work most consistently well).
