Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Credit Scanner at none against NFC Commander's 1. Credit Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 38 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). NFC Commander's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
