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. The "Write" section let you record standardised data such as: - a simple text - a link to a website - an email - a contact - a phone number - a predefined text message - an address or geolocation - a WiFi or Bluetooth configuration - personalised data - and more... The write function allows you to add as much data as you wish. This way you can record large quantities of information on your tag. The app also allows you to save the contents of your chip for later access. NFC Tools has been tested with the following NFC tags: - NTAG 203, 210, 210u, 212, 213, 213TT, 215, 216, 413 DNA, 424 DNA - Ultralight, Ultralight C, Ultralight EV1 - ICODE SLI, SLI-S, SLIX, SLIX-S, SLIX-L, SLIX2, DNA - DESFire EV1, EV2, EV3 - ST25TV, ST25TA - Felica If you encounter any problem, don’t hesitate to contact us.

AI for the people who run the buildings. Edviro connects the systems your facilities team already uses — utility bills, meters, building controls, sensors, schedules, and work orders — learns how each building normally behaves, catches waste and equipment problems continuously, helps your team act on them, and verifies the results in real meter and billing data. The Edviro app puts the full platform in your pocket: everything from your dashboard, plus an AI agent and camera-first tools built for work in the field. ASK YOUR BUILDINGS ANYTHING: Chat with your AI energy analyst. Ask why last month's bill spiked, which sites ran HVAC over the weekend, or how a meter is trending — and get clear answers grounded in your organization's own data. CATCH PROBLEMS AS THEY HAPPEN: Edviro watches your portfolio around the clock instead of waiting for the next audit. Review flagged anomalies — after-hours runtime, schedule drift, demand spikes, short-cycling equipment, billing irregularities — prioritized by cost and operational impact. CLOSE THE LOOP ON EVERY ISSUE: Work each case alongside Edviro's resolution agent: see the diagnosis, chat through likely causes and next steps, and approve or reject proposed actions with a tap. Your team stays in control — Edviro drafts, recommends, and acts only on what you authorize. SEE THE WHOLE PORTFOLIO: Energy analytics with interactive usage charts Billing summaries by site and meter Sustainability goals and emissions tracking A directory of every site, with floor plans and placed asset pins BUILT FOR THE FIELD: Walk the building with your camera. Run live AI equipment inspections with on-screen hints, scan nameplates to capture make, model, and serial automatically, and build out your facility condition assessment as you go — no clipboard required. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE: Edviro is a vendor-neutral intelligence layer. It sits on top of your existing utility accounts, meters, BMS/BAS, sensors, and work-order systems — no rip-and-replace, and no change to how your team operates. It augments your facilities staff and your CMMS; it doesn't replace them. PROOF, NOT PROMISES: Every action is checked. Edviro compares outcomes against a baseline learned from your real meter data and generates clear, board-ready measurement & verification reporting — so facilities, finance, and leadership can all see what changed, what it saved, and whether the savings persist. WHO IT'S FOR: Facilities and business teams at K–12 school districts, colleges and universities, and commercial building portfolios: directors of maintenance and operations, energy and sustainability managers, technicians, business officials, and finance leaders. GETTING STARTED: The Edviro app is for existing Edviro customers. Sign in securely with your organization's Edviro account — your session is stored in the device keychain. New to Edviro?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Edviro at none against NFC Tools's 1. Edviro also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). NFC Tools's advantage is chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
