Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ismeralda at none against Paperless Post's 18. Ismeralda also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Paperless Post's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (126K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
