Tile’s best Bluetooth tracker is down to its lowest price of the year
The Tile Pro Bluetooth tracker has dropped to its lowest price of 2026, making it a cost-effective alternative to Apple's AirTag for households mixing Android and Apple devices. Unlike the AirTag, the Tile Pro works well across both operating systems, which matters for families or groups who don't all use the same phone brand.
The tracker is currently priced at $23.99, down $11 from its usual cost, and is available through both Amazon and Tile directly. It offers a Bluetooth range of up to 500 feet and a 110-decibel ring, the loudest in Tile's range, plus a built-in keyring hole and free extras such as two days of location history. It does not connect to Apple's Find My or Google's Find Hub networks, relying instead on Tile's own Life360 app, with a paid subscription from $7.99 a month unlocking features like SOS alerts and crash detection.
In short
- Tile Pro tracker now $23.99, its cheapest price this year
- Works across Android and Apple, unlike AirTag
- Offers 500-foot range and a 110-decibel alarm
Explained simply
Bluetooth trackers are small devices that attach to keys, bags or other items you might lose. They use your smartphone to help you locate whatever they're attached to, either by sounding an alarm or showing its location on a map. If you've ever frantically searched for your keys or wallet, a tracker can save considerable time and frustration.
Apple offers a popular tracker called the AirTag, but it works best if everyone in your household uses iPhones. Tile Pro is designed to work equally well with both Apple and Android devices, making it more practical for families or groups where people use different phone brands. This cross-platform compatibility is its main advantage over Apple's offering.
Tile's trackers make a loud sound when you use your phone to find them. The Pro produces a 110-decibel alert, the loudest in Tile's range, and works at distances up to 500 feet. The Pro also includes location history through Tile's Life360 app, with some advanced features available through a paid subscription.
