# Package Tracker vs Nova Post

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nova Post at none against Package Tracker's 14. Nova Post also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Package Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 1.4K) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Package Tracker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Nova Post asks for nothing beyond the download.

Nova Post holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Package Tracker has 19K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Package Tracker's written reviews are positive against 29% of Nova Post's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
