Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NXP Partner App at none against NFC's 2. NXP Partner App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). NFC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
