Once an order is shipped, it will appear in Parcel. This is done in a secure and privacy-friendly way with your credentials never leaving the device. You can also locate your delivery on the map or manage your deliveries using Web Access (web.parcelapp.net) - easy and simple. Parcel has a native macOS app available for free in the Mac App Store. Parcel utilizes the power of iOS to provide you the best possible user experience. You can use its widgets to see your upcoming deliveries and the share extension to add a new delivery directly from any other app. Push notifications provided by Parcel are more convenient than from any other app. They are being sent only from 8am to 10 pm according to your timezone, so you will not be bothered at night (however, you can disable this option in the settings). Some features, such as push notifications and tracking more than 3 deliveries are limited to premium subscribers. Current price for the premium subscription is $6.99 per year, and may vary from country to country.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Parcel at 4.8 against Route's 3.7. Parcel also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 3) and chart position (#25 vs unranked). Route's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Parcel sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year and Route sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Parcel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parcel has 23K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Parcel's written reviews are positive against 80% of Route's.
Parcel ships an update fortnightly, Route every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
