Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GIVetClinic at 100% against Canada Post's 22%. GIVetClinic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Canada Post's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
