Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rotterdampas at none against PostNL's shown. Rotterdampas also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). PostNL's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 22) and review sentiment (21% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Rotterdampas holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PostNL has 2.1K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of PostNL's written reviews are positive against 0% of Rotterdampas's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PostNL ships an update every 2 weeks, Rotterdampas every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
