# ZIP vs Package & Parcel Tracker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ZIP at 55% against Package & Parcel Tracker's 0%. ZIP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (259 vs 43). Package & Parcel Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZIP sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Package & Parcel Tracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Package & Parcel Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZIP has 259 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of ZIP's written reviews are positive against 0% of Package & Parcel Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ZIP ships an update every 2 weeks, Package & Parcel Tracker every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
