Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NFC ⁺ at 5.0 against NFC's 4.0. NFC's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFC sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and NFC ⁺ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NFC ⁺ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
NFC ships an update every 6 weeks, NFC ⁺ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
