# Parcel vs Re

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.

Both are free to download. Parcel sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Re asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Parcel against 4.9 for Re. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parcel has 23K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Parcel's written reviews are positive against 100% of Re's.

Parcel ships an update fortnightly, Re every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
