Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NFC at 60% against TagAccess's 0%. NFC also leads on rating (4.3 vs 1.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). TagAccess's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
