It all depends on what code you plan running on the device.
If you just need a basic micro-controller with wifi and bluetooth, esp8266 is cheaper.
- StavrosK 6y agoAlso the ESP8266 is smaller. Practically, there's no difference for hobbyist stuff, but personally I mostly tend to use an ESP8266 just because using an ESP32 when I don't need the extra power feels like a waste, somehow.
- IshKebab 6y agoCheaper by €1? Who cares? Nobody here is manufacturing tens of thousands of devices.
- optimuspaul 6y agoesp8266 does not have bluetooth, the esp32 does and that is what makes it more more interesting.
