Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NFC at 4.3 against M Tool's 3.0. NFC also leads on ratings volume (96 vs 2) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). M Tool's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
