Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NFC at 5.0 against NFC Mate's 4.5. NFC Mate's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. NFC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NFC Mate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NFC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Mate has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
