Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hello! at none against Daily Postcard's 10. Hello! also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 63%). Daily Postcard's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
