# Boon! vs iNFCi

The clearest difference is ads: Boon! at none against iNFCi's shown. Boon! also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 1). iNFCi's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boon! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and iNFCi sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iNFCi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boon! has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Boon! ships an update fortnightly, iNFCi weekly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
