Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PriceMatchr at none against NFC's 2. PriceMatchr also leads on ads (none vs shown). NFC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
