Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Distribus at none against Swiss Post's shown. Distribus also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (67% vs 56%). Swiss Post's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
