Philately Passport is a digital companion for Indian philately enthusiasts — a place to discover pictorial cancellations, visit post offices, and build a personal stamp and cancellation collection as a gamified digital passport. Discover → Visit → Collect → Complete is the heart of the app: find pictorial cancellations near you or across India, record your visit with a photo, add it to your digital collection, and watch your Passport fill in state by state. Features: • A Digital Philately Passport — your collector identity, India journey map, cancellation journey, and themed special collections in one place • Pictorial cancellation discovery with real post-office locations across every Indian state, sorted by distance when you allow location • Record a cancellation with a photograph, notes and a location signal • Challenges and collectible achievement badges that track your real collecting, not a fixed list • A short-form Philately Academy for learning the basics of the hobby • Works entirely offline — your passport lives on your device, with no account to create and nothing uploaded • Export your whole passport, photographs included, whenever you want a backup Philately Passport is an independent, unofficial companion app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by India Post. Digital records created in the app are personal collection records only and do not constitute official India Post verification. Catalogue information is partly community-sourced — confirm availability and opening hours before visiting.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ather at none against Philately Passport's shown. Philately Passport's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
