Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Parcel at 86% against Package tracker's 9%. Parcel also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (23K vs 1.3K). Package tracker's advantage is iOS requirement (13 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parcel sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year and Package tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Parcel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
