# Sarotis vs Smart NFC

The clearest difference is rating: Sarotis at 3.9 against Smart NFC's 3.0. Sarotis also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7 vs 2). Smart NFC's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases 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 and Smart NFC sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sarotis holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Sarotis's written reviews are positive against 100% of Smart NFC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sarotis ships an update every 6 weeks, Smart NFC every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
