Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NFC Tag Manager at 4.7 against NFC's 4.0. NFC Tag Manager also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). NFC's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
