Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NFC at 5.0 against MTools BLE RFID Reader's 3.7. NFC also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). MTools BLE RFID Reader's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
