# NFC ⁺ vs NFC

The clearest difference is monetization model: NFC ⁺ at free with in-app purchases against NFC's subscription. NFC's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFC ⁺ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NFC sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for NFC ⁺ against 5.0 for NFC. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 2 respectively.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
