# ParcelTrack vs ZIP

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.

Both are free to download. ParcelTrack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ZIP sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for ParcelTrack against 4.5 for ZIP. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ParcelTrack has 12K ratings behind it against 256, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 39% of ParcelTrack's written reviews are positive against 55% of ZIP's.

ParcelTrack ships an update every 5 weeks, ZIP weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
