# NFC Business Card vs NFC Tools

The clearest difference is price: NFC Tools at Free against NFC Business Card's $3.99. NFC Tools also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 19 months). NFC Business Card's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (58% vs 27%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

NFC Tools is free to download; NFC Business Card costs $3.99 up front. NFC Tools sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. NFC Business Card asks for nothing beyond the download.

NFC Tools holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Tools has 453 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of NFC Business Card's written reviews are positive against 27% of NFC Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NFC Business Card ships an update every 19 months, NFC Tools every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
