Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PGP NFC at none against Encode's 2. PGP NFC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). Encode's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 3). On price and device support 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. Encode sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. PGP NFC asks for nothing beyond the download.
Encode holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Encode has 6.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Encode's written reviews are positive against 100% of PGP NFC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
