Sub Cipher is an easy-to-use Encoder/Decoder app, which can encode or decode your text using various "simple substitution" cipher methods. * Simply type or copy-paste your encoded or decoded text to and from e-mail, messages, social media, and it is immediately converted for you. Up to 2,000 characters can be converted at a time. Sub Cipher offers you the encoded text, placeholder-text, and even a magic decoder wheel that you can add to your own books and publications. You can also capture the cipher settings you have dialed in (as lines of text) to save in another document. This can be useful if you are publishing a newsletter or book of ciphers, and want to keep a record of the settings you used with each cipher along with the cipher itself. Main Features: *Easy to use: Type into the plain-text or the cypher-text box, and the converted text is immediately displayed. *Easy to transfer: You can select all the converted text and paste it into any other text document. *Easy to adjust: Any substitution offset, forward or reverse can be dialed in. *Easy to save: The settings you dial in can also be saved as text for your notes. *Easy to publish: Any ciphers you make are 100% yours to publish and sell; no copyright restrictions or restrictive "commercial use" clauses here. *Forever Free: Download this software once and it is yours forever. You get all future new features and updates free. No upgrade costs or "subscription/rental" fees. Ever. *No Ads: You are never distracted from enjoying my software. *Human-Made: This software was completely and carefully hand-designed and written by me. No A.I. toys were allowed anywhere near this software. *Private: Your work is safely yours and always stays on your computer. You are never required to create internet accounts, and none of your information is ever stored in the cloud. * Caveat Emptor: It uses the "Caesar" and "Atbash" style cipher methods, which are simple offset-alphabet ciphers. The well-known "Rot13" cipher is one of these. These ancient styles of ciphers are very simple and easy to decode! This is simply a fun educational utility, and is not intended for serious "secret message" work.

NFC Easy reads and writes NFC tags with one tap — no account and no sign-up. READ Hold the tag near the top of your iPhone and instantly see what is stored on it, the UID, the chip type and how much memory is still free. Reading also shows the technical data, for those who need it. WRITE Build the content and write it to the tag: • Web link — the browser opens on its own when tapped • Plain text, readable by any device • Business card (vCard) — the phone offers to save the contact • Phone, email and SMS, ready to send • Wi-Fi — whoever taps joins the network without typing the password • Location, which opens straight in the map • Instagram, LinkedIn, Telegram, WhatsApp and YouTube • MIME or external record, for more technical uses Every piece of content can be saved to "My records" and reused on another tag later, without typing it all again. BUSINESS CARD Build your digital card once and write it to a tag. Whoever taps their phone gets your name, phone, email and website ready to save. TAG TOOLS • Clone — copies the content of one tag to another • Erase — clears the tag and keeps it reusable • Lock — permanent block against new writes • Password — protects the tag from edits (NTAG213/215/216) The permanent lock is final: a locked tag can never be written again. The app warns you first. QR AND BARCODE SCANNER Read QR codes and barcodes with the camera, create your own QR codes and browse your scan history. LANGUAGES English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and German. PRIVACY No login and no server of our own: your records, your card and your scan history stay on your device. The app shows a Google AdMob banner ad and does not ask for tracking permission. NOTE Some tools depend on the tag's chip. NTAG213, NTAG215 and NTAG216 tags are the most compatible.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sub Cipher at none against TagEasy's shown. TagEasy's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
