Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DoorFlow Utility at none against NFC's 2. DoorFlow Utility also leads on ads (none vs shown). NFC's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
