Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NFC Commander at 100% against OKTap's 0%. OKTap's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 34 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
