Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NFC at 5.0 against MyPi.'s 4.2. NFC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). MyPi.'s advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MyPi. sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NFC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NFC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyPi. has 37 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of MyPi.'s written reviews are positive against 75% of NFC's.
MyPi. ships an update every 2 months, NFC weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
