Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Melrose & McQueen at none against Paperless Post's 10. Melrose & McQueen also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Paperless Post's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 49 months) and ratings volume (128K vs 85). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
