Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daon NFC at none against NFC Commander's 1. Daon NFC also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 38 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). NFC Commander's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
