# Canada Post vs GreenShield+

The clearest difference is ads: GreenShield+ at none against Canada Post's shown. GreenShield+ also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Canada Post's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 40). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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 4.9K ratings behind it against 40, 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 36% of GreenShield+'s.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
