Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Canada Post at none against Package Tracker's 7. Canada Post also leads on ratings volume (4.9K vs 164) and review sentiment (22% vs 13%). Package Tracker's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Package Tracker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Canada Post asks for nothing beyond the download.
Package Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canada Post has 4.9K ratings behind it against 164, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Canada Post's written reviews are positive against 13% of Package Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
