WHAT iOS DOES NOT ALLOW - SAID UP FRONT iOS does not let apps read MIFARE Classic data (only the UID), copy a UID onto another tag, emulate a tag, or join Wi-Fi automatically from a tag. These are system limits that no app gets past. The app includes a page explaining all of them. Requires iOS 18, so an iPhone XR or newer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: NFC Wizard at 15.5 against NFC Kit's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
