Care Package Now

Care Package Now helps you pack a small digital box of goodies for someone and send it their way. WHAT GOES INSIDE Choose from ten kinds of goodies: a note, a photo, a song dedication, a video clip, a gift IOU, a voice memo, a doodle, a place that matters, some good news, or a kindness coupon — a redeemable favor like "Breakfast in Bed" or "One Free Dog Walk," picked from a built-in library of 14 or written your own. Give each goodie its own mood and a personal caption. SEND IT A finished parcel travels as a self-contained .carepkg file you share however you like (AirDrop, Messages, Files, email), or — for goodies without photos/video/voice — as a QR code the recipient scans right in the app. Handoff lets you start a box on one device and keep building on another. THE UNWRAP The recipient opens a sealed box and reveals one goodie at a time. Hand someone your phone, or present the reveal full-screen on a TV or external display over AirPlay while everyone watches together. ALSO INCLUDED A Kindness Ledger tracks every coupon that's been redeemed, across every parcel. Siri and Shortcuts can start a new parcel or jump straight to presenting one, and a home screen widget keeps the current box one tap away. Parcels are stored on your device until you choose to share them. No account creation is required. Microphone access records voice memos, and camera access scans parcel QR codes. An optional one-time Pro purchase lets you keep multiple parcels in progress.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: myGMC at none against Care Package Now's 1. myGMC also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#109 vs unranked). Care Package Now's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
