Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bringme NFC Reader at none against NFC's 2. Bringme NFC Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). NFC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
