# NFC Tools vs NFC

NFC Tools's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (61 vs 2).

NFC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Tools has 61 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
