Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Amii NFC at Free against Ally's $9.99. Amii NFC also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Ally's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (843 vs 38). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Amii NFC is free to download; Ally costs $9.99 up front. Ally sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Amii NFC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ally holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ally has 843 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Ally's written reviews are positive against 69% of Amii NFC's.
Ally ships an update every 2 months, Amii NFC every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
