Bottom line
Who each provider fits best
iPostal1
Best fit: Largest address selection
Main limitation: The huge network is useful, but optional-service pricing and pickup rules can vary by location.
Entry pricing is monthly; location-level fees can differ.
Anytime Mailbox
Best fit: Local address choice
Main limitation: The exact location must be checked carefully because inclusions and fees vary materially by operator.
