Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GreenShield+ at none against Canada Post's shown. GreenShield+ also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 22%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Canada Post's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 44). 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.
GreenShield+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canada Post has 5.1K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Canada Post's written reviews are positive against 37% of GreenShield+'s.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
