# USPS Mobile® vs Package Tracker

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.

Both are free to download. Package Tracker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. USPS Mobile® asks for nothing beyond the download.

USPS Mobile® holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USPS Mobile® has 1.6M ratings behind it against 19K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of USPS Mobile®'s written reviews are positive against 31% of Package Tracker's.

USPS Mobile® ships an update every 2 months, Package Tracker every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
