# NFC vs TickWidget

The clearest difference is ads: TickWidget at none against NFC's shown. NFC's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases 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 and TickWidget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
