Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: DHL Express Mobile App at free against FedEx Mobile's free with in-app purchases. DHL Express Mobile App also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 9%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). FedEx Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (398K vs 18K) and chart position (#12 vs #170). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
