NFC TagInfo by NXP holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC TagInfo by NXP has 27 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of TecIdentify's written reviews are positive against 31% of NFC TagInfo by NXP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TecIdentify ships an update every 26 months, NFC TagInfo by NXP every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
