Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Code Scanner ALL at none against NFC's 2. Code Scanner ALL also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and device support (3 vs 1). NFC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (59% vs 33%). On price and ads 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
Both are free to download. NFC sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Code Scanner ALL asks for nothing beyond the download.
Code Scanner ALL holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 95 and 28 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of NFC's written reviews are positive against 33% of Code Scanner ALL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NFC ships an update fortnightly, Code Scanner ALL every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
