Once an order is shipped, it will appear in Parcel. This is done in a secure and privacy-friendly way with your credentials never leaving the device. You can also locate your delivery on the map or manage your deliveries using Web Access (web.parcelapp.net) - easy and simple. Parcel has a native macOS app available for free in the Mac App Store. Parcel utilizes the power of iOS to provide you the best possible user experience. You can use its widgets to see your upcoming deliveries and the share extension to add a new delivery directly from any other app. Push notifications provided by Parcel are more convenient than from any other app. They are being sent only from 8am to 10 pm according to your timezone, so you will not be bothered at night (however, you can disable this option in the settings). Some features, such as push notifications and tracking more than 3 deliveries are limited to premium subscribers. Current price for the premium subscription is $6.99 per year, and may vary from country to country.

Verdict
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.
