# Parcel vs Package

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Package at none against Parcel's 2. Package also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Parcel's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 1) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). 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. Package asks for nothing beyond the download.

Package holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parcel has 23K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Parcel ships an update fortnightly, Package every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
