Verdict
Paperless Post and The Pooch Pad both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of The Pooch Pad's written reviews are positive against 34% of Paperless Post's. The Pooch Pad also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Paperless Post's advantage is ratings volume (128K vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
