# Parcel vs ECONO

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ECONO at none against Parcel's 2. ECONO also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Parcel's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 1) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parcel sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. ECONO asks for nothing beyond the download.

ECONO 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, ECONO every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
