Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NFC Tools at none against Authenticator's shown. NFC Tools also leads on ratings volume (137 vs 25). Authenticator's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFC Tools sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Authenticator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for NFC Tools against 4.5 for Authenticator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Tools has 137 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two.
