Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MiCard PLUS BLE Badge at 4.0 against LCEC's 2.8. LCEC's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MiCard PLUS BLE Badge holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LCEC has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of LCEC's written reviews are positive against 0% of MiCard PLUS BLE Badge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LCEC ships an update every 2 months, MiCard PLUS BLE Badge every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
