Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Packages at 4.7 against Live Package Tracker's 3.7. Packages also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (14K vs 3). Live Package Tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
