Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Challenge Camp at none against Paperless Post's 18. Challenge Camp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Paperless Post's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (127K vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
