# ZIP vs Package Tracker

The clearest difference is update cadence: ZIP at weekly against Package Tracker's monthly. ZIP also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (256 vs 35). Package Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 55%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZIP sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Package Tracker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ZIP holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZIP has 256 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of ZIP's written reviews are positive against 64% of Package Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ZIP ships an update weekly, Package Tracker monthly. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
