Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Parcel at 86% against Package Tracker's 48%. Parcel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Package Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
