Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Myサブスク at none against Japan NFC Reader's 2. Myサブスク also leads on ads (none vs shown). Japan NFC Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
