Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Three at 1.2K against An Post's 64. Three also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). An Post's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
