Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: ZIP at weekly against ParcelTrack's every 5 weeks. ZIP also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 39%). ParcelTrack's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 256) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
