# Sarotis vs NFC TagKit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NFC TagKit at none against Sarotis's 4. NFC TagKit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Sarotis's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sarotis sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. NFC TagKit asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.9 for Sarotis against 4.0 for NFC TagKit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sarotis has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Sarotis's written reviews are positive against 100% of NFC TagKit's.

Sarotis ships an update every 4 weeks, NFC TagKit every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
