Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RfidAPP at none against NFC's 2. RfidAPP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). NFC's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
