NFC tags are quite cheap these days… e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/NTAG215-Compatible-Programmable-NFC...
That’s £0.28 per tag and you can probably find them much cheaper if you go to Aliexpress and the likes.
They are also reusable which means that if you want to change the link to the audio source all you need to do is to reprogram the card so changes to the streaming service don’t require reprinting.
And that’s probably the biggest advantage links can change on a streaming service with NFC you can easily change the streaming service itself too.
Overall here the biggest expense would be probably printing the album art itself in high quality and using good stock for the actual cards. So whilst the QR code might be cheaper on its own if you need to make any changes it could easily require a reprint or remaking of the entire card which will probably cost far more than the tag.
Also you can always get NFC tags in the form of the card itself and get the album art printed on them at a high quality print shop. It would cost you a few $ per card but they would last for much longer.
