Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Diplomat Assistant at none against Parcel's 2. Diplomat Assistant also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Parcel's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
