Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shippity at 4.8 against NZ Post's 1.0. Shippity also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 17%) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 2). NZ Post's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
