Remember QR Codes? They’re More Powerful Than You Think

My Alarm app has the functionality to remember a NFC or QR code that you need to scan in order to make it stop.

Why did I go for a QR code? I can print a QR code, but I can’t print a NFC code.

But you can buy NFC tags for relatively cheap.

You go to market with the printer you have, not the gizmos you'd like you have. You'd wind up printing something anyway to let people know about the NFC tag. And if you are printing something out, you may as well just add a QR code for folks who like that method.

There's a "if you give a yak a razor" joke in there somewhere.

I could, but printing a QR tag is even faster and cheaper, and there are no real benefits to the NFC in this case.
