# My vs NFC Reader

The clearest difference is rating: NFC Reader at 3.7 against My's 2.2. NFC Reader also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 6). My's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFC Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. My asks for nothing beyond the download.

NFC Reader holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Reader has 43 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.

My ships an update every 3 months, NFC Reader every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
