Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PostNL at 4.5 against Thuispoort's 3.2. PostNL also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Thuispoort's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
