Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Parcel at 86% against CJdropshipping's 49%. Parcel also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (23K vs 436). CJdropshipping's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
