If you’re sweating over RFID tag vs NFC tag, you’re likely solving the wrong problem. I’ve seen businesses burn $10k+ on this mistake. Here’s how to choose correctly:
RFID Tags
NFC Tags
⚠️ Fix: Need remote scanning? RFID. Human touch acceptable? NFC.
| Cost Type | RFID Tag System | NFC Tag System |
|---|---|---|
| Startup Cost | $500-$3,000 (scanners) | $0 (uses phones) |
| Tag Cost | $0.08-$0.30 (bulk buys) | $0.25-$10 (secure tags) |
| Hidden Cost | $200/month software | Phone compatibility fixes |
| ROI Timeline | 6-12 months (high volume) | 1-3 months (retail) |
Shocker: One Cykeo client saved $8k/year ditching NFC for RFID in warehouses after realizing labor costs.
