# Murmur vs NFC Tools & RFID Scanner

The clearest difference is rating: NFC Tools & RFID Scanner at 4.4 against Murmur's 3.8. NFC Tools & RFID Scanner also leads on ratings volume (330 vs 17). Murmur's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (55% vs 28%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Murmur sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NFC Tools & RFID Scanner sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NFC Tools & RFID Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Tools & RFID Scanner has 330 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Murmur's written reviews are positive against 28% of NFC Tools & RFID Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Murmur ships an update weekly, NFC Tools & RFID Scanner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
