All your deliveries, without the clutter. Shippy brings parcels from supported carriers into one calm timeline. Add a tracking number, scan a barcode, paste a shipment email, or connect an authorised Gmail or Outlook source. Then see what changed, when the status was refreshed, and which alerts are enabled. KNOW HOW CURRENT AN UPDATE IS Carrier estimates are not guarantees. Shippy shows refresh time, carrier confidence, ETA confidence when available, and a clear warning when a provider cannot refresh a parcel. You can retry manually instead of wondering whether an old status is live. ADD SHIPMENTS YOUR WAY - Enter or paste a tracking number - Scan a parcel barcode - Paste or forward an Amazon shipment email - Connect Gmail or Outlook with your permission - Diagnose connected mailbox imports and archived matches FOLLOW THE DELIVERY - One timeline across supported carriers - Automatic carrier detection with visible confidence - Configurable status and delivery alerts - Quiet hours, mute, and snooze controls - ETA helpers, map points, translations, and day counters - Manual and batch refresh controls KEEP PEOPLE IN THE LOOP Share a delivery link with family, housemates, or a client without making them install Shippy. Use widgets for at-a-glance updates, App Shortcuts for common actions, and the Apple Watch companion for a compact parcel list. PREMIUM Shippy is useful for free. Premium raises parcel limits and unlocks faster refreshes, imports, widgets, and advanced alerts. Available plans and local prices are shown before purchase in the app; purchases and restores use Apple's StoreKit. PRIVATE CONTROLS Mailbox access is authorised by you and can be disconnected.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 9Tracking at none against Shippy's 1. 9Tracking also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Shippy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 21 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
