NFC Tools can read and write your NFC tags with a simple and lightweight user interface. By passing your device near an NFC chip, you can read the data it contains and interact with the content. The "Read" section allows you to see data such as: - the maker of the tag - the type of tag (ex : Mifare Ultralight, NTAG213) - the norm of the tag (ex : NFC Forum Type 2) - the available technology (ex: NFC A) - its serial number (ex : 04:85:c8:5a:40:2b:80) - the size of the tag and of the data on it - if you can write on the tag - all the data on the tag (NDEF format) NFC Tools can record standard information on your tags which will be compatible with any NFC device. For instance, you can store a VCARD to share your contact details easily, open an URL, share a phone number or even a geolocation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NFC Tools at 51% against Skydance's 5%. NFC Tools also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Skydance's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
