Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Umiibo at 4.4 against MTools BLE RFID Reader's 3.8. Umiibo also leads on ratings volume (109 vs 17). MTools BLE RFID Reader's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 43%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MTools BLE RFID Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Umiibo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Umiibo holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Umiibo has 109 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of MTools BLE RFID Reader's written reviews are positive against 43% of Umiibo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MTools BLE RFID Reader ships an update every 4 days, Umiibo fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
