NFC vs Mifare

NFC and Mifare both of them work on 13.56Mhz. Both of them are based on 14443 ISO protocol.

So what is the real and big difference between them?

Yes, both are working on 13.56MHz and both are using NFC and no difference in the communication/protocol level. The real difference is on the application side – Mifare is a proprietary technology by NXP – meaning, the cryptography, file structure, etc are non-standard (see Mifare Classic for details). Mifare have few variants like classic, DESFire, etc and some of them use standard cryptography also
