RFID vs Biometric Attendance
Both can automate attendance, but they solve different operational and privacy requirements.
| Factor | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| User experience | Tap card/tag | Fingerprint/face scan |
| Hardware | RFID reader + cards/tags | Biometric terminal/sensor |
| Privacy | Lower biometric-data exposure | Requires biometric data handling |
| Speed | Very fast tap workflow | Fast, depends on sensor |
| Best fit | Schools, offices, staff attendance | High-assurance identity verification |
Our practical recommendation
Choose RFID when you want a simple, fast and low-friction attendance workflow. Choose biometrics when identity verification is the primary requirement. WebDev Sami can build the dashboard, reports, payroll exports and device integrations around either approach.
