No searching, no browsing, just tap a button and put the amiibo near the phone. *only supported on iPhone. Help: DM @zrzrv5 on twitter or dev@1sec.plus Before You Buy - This App is an Amiibo Management App, not some magical 'summon Raymond to my island' App. It has a built-in database that supports 740+ amiibos. Still, until Nintendo releases a new Amiibo card series, it can not summon new villagers added in New Horizon into your island. - This app won't provide key files.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Boon! at Free against AmiiBot's $2.99. Boon! also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.9) and review sentiment (100% vs 62%). AmiiBot's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
