Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MiCard PLUS BLE Badge holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sage Systems has 684 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Sage Systems's written reviews are positive against 0% of MiCard PLUS BLE Badge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
