Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Staples Canada Contractor Mobile App at none against Canada Post's shown. Staples Canada Contractor Mobile App also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Canada Post's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 8%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
