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 call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Seam at none against Parcel's 2. Seam also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Parcel's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
