Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stamps.com Mobile App at 4.1 against Direct Mail for iOS's 2.7. Stamps.com Mobile App also leads on ratings volume (626 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Direct Mail for iOS's advantage is review sentiment (30% vs 7%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Stamps.com Mobile App holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stamps.com Mobile App has 626 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Direct Mail for iOS's written reviews are positive against 7% of Stamps.com Mobile App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Direct Mail for iOS ships an update every 2 months, Stamps.com Mobile App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
