# NFC vs NFC Connect

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NFC Connect at 100% against NFC's 60%. NFC Connect also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). NFC's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFC sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. NFC Connect asks for nothing beyond the download.

NFC Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC has 96 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of NFC's written reviews are positive against 100% of NFC Connect's.
