Verdict

The call

Parcel and Package Tracker both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Parcel's written reviews are positive against 0% of Package Tracker's. Parcel also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 111) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). Package Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
