NFC vs QR code business cards: which is better?

NFC and QR codes both open a link. Here is when each works better, and why most people use both.

Updated 1 Nov 2026 by the Inditap team, Mumbai.

How they differ

A QR code is printed and needs the phone camera to scan it. An NFC chip is inside the card and opens the link when the phone touches it. NFC is faster and works in low light; QR works on every phone with a camera.

Which should you choose?

Both. Inditap cards carry an NFC chip and a QR code, so every phone can open your profile: tap if it supports NFC, scan if it doesn't.

Can a QR code be changed later?

A plain QR code that points directly to your website cannot be changed. Inditap QR codes point to your Inditap page, so you can change what it shows anytime.

Questions people ask

Are QR codes free?
