Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Re at none against Parcel's 2. Re also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Parcel's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
