NFC vs Barcode

NFC tags are rewritable, store dynamic data, and support authentication but cost $0.03-$0.50 per tag. Barcodes cost virtually nothing to print but are read-only, easily copied, and require line-of-sight scanning. Barcodes dominate retail due to decades of existing infrastructure.

Use NFC when you need rewritability, authentication, or tap interaction; barcodes for cost-sensitive retail with established infrastructure.
