Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NFC at 4.3 against NFC's 4.0. NFC also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (96 vs 26). NFC's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
