Verdict
PostNL and Stekkies both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Stekkies's written reviews are positive against 21% of PostNL's. Stekkies also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). PostNL's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
