Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DHL Express Mobile App at none against Canada Post's shown. DHL Express Mobile App also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and chart position (#171 vs unranked). Canada Post's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
