Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Postcard Archive at 5.0 against Coleka's 4.4. Postcard Archive also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Coleka's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
