Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: USPS Mobile® at none against Package Tracker's 14. USPS Mobile® also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.6M vs 19K). Package Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
