# Parcelee vs ZIP

The clearest difference is rating: ZIP at 4.5 against Parcelee's 4.1. ZIP also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Parcelee's advantage is chart position (#186 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parcelee sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and ZIP sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ZIP holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 238 and 256 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Parcelee's written reviews are positive against 55% of ZIP's.
