Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cat Novel Author at none against TrackParcel's shown. Cat Novel Author also leads on iOS requirement (14.3 vs 17.6). TrackParcel's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
