Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GovGPT at 100% against Parkin's 27%. GovGPT also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Parkin's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
