# NFC vs NFC

The clearest difference is rating: NFC at 4.3 against NFC's 3.3. NFC also leads on ratings volume (95 vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFC sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and NFC sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NFC holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC has 95 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of NFC's written reviews are positive against 50% of NFC's.

NFC ships an update fortnightly, NFC every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
