Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FedEx Mobile at none against Canada Post's shown. FedEx Mobile also leads on ratings volume (398K vs 4.9K) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). Canada Post's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 9%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Canada Post against 4.6 for FedEx Mobile. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FedEx Mobile has 398K ratings behind it against 4.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of Canada Post's written reviews are positive against 9% of FedEx Mobile's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
