Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TriggerRecon at 100% against PitneyShip®'s 40%. TriggerRecon also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PitneyShip®'s advantage is ratings volume (145 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
