# Parcel vs Parcelee

The clearest difference is rating: Parcel at 4.8 against Parcelee's 4.1. Parcel also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 47%) and ratings volume (22K vs 238). Parcelee's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parcel sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year and Parcelee sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 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 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parcel has 22K ratings behind it against 238, 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 47% of Parcelee's.
