If you’re an Android user and are looking for some functional Apple AirTag alternatives, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’ve listed some of the best AirTag alternatives for Android.
Note: Most of these trackers use Bluetooth along with their proprietary finding networks to help you track and trace your items.
Chipolo One Bluetooth Key Finder
If you are looking for a low-cost Bluetooth tracker, you must look at the Chipolo One tracker. It bundles all essential features, such as a replaceable battery, notification alerts, and water-resistant features. More importantly, it boasts a loud alarm (up to 20 dB) that you can hear it easily when triggered. It also alerts you when the paired phone moves out of range.
The setup process is no rocket science, either. All you need to do is download the Chipolo app on your Android phone and pair it to the tracker. The app also lets you see the last known location, and if you cannot find it, you can always use the ‘Ring to find’ option. The battery life is long, and the location accuracy is pretty good for the price.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag
The Galaxy SmartTag uses Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) technology to locate the objects attached to it. This tracker uses the SmartThings app and SmartThings Find module to connect and locate. However, the SmartTag works only with Samsung Galaxy phones. On the upside, the alarm volume is decent and gets the job done.
While the app gives you several options to locate or ring the tracker, installing the tracker is a little complicated. On the positive side, you can program some nifty If-This-Then-That-like commands, especially if you have other Samsung smart products. Interestingly, it uses other Galaxy smartphones to locate the tracker’s BLE signal when lost.
What We Like
- Easy to track
- Long battery life
- Loud alarm
What We Don’t Like
- Limited to Samsung Galaxy phones
Nutale Key Finder
The Nutale Key Finder is the one if you often struggle to find your keys every morning. It is simple to use, lightweight, and has an easy setup process. A small battery powers it and each battery lasts for around 10 months.
Like most trackers, you will need to set it up through a companion app. However, the alarm sound is not as loud.

Tile Sticker Adhesive Bluetooth Tracker
One of the primary advantages of the Tile Sticker is that it sticks to any flat surface, making it highly versatile. It’s designed for regular household objects like TV remotes, employee badges, or gaming controllers. We say household stuff because this tracker’s range is not as strong as its counterparts, and it takes afair amount of time to track a lost tracker.
The Tile Sticker uses the Tile app on other Tile users’ phones to locate the tracker when lost. And being on the largest crowd-finding network helps its case. It works on both Android and iOS devices. The battery life is long, and a single sticker will last around three years on average. However, you’ll need a new tracker once the battery is depleted.
What We Like
- Designed for small household products
- Long battery life (3 years)
- Works on both Android and iOS
- Loud sound
What We Don’t Like
- Non-repplaceable
The Tile Pro is a good pick if you are looking for an extended Bluetooth range, a loud ringtone, and a replaceable battery. The long-range helps its case since you can attach it to regular objects like keys, luggage, or portable speakers. However, it is a bit heavy.
Tile Essentials Pack
The Essentials package is a good buy if you want to take advantage of popular Tile products like Tile Mate, Tile Slim, or the Sticker. Here, you get the advantages of all the trackers. In addition, the versatility of the products means you can use them indoors and outdoors. Plus, they make good gifts for tech enthusiasts.
The Tile Slim is a credit card-shaped tracker that slips inside your wallet and purse. It’s lightweight and won’t weigh down your wallet. However, the battery is irreplaceable. When it runs out, you will have to get a new one.
On the other hand, the Tile Mate is small, and thanks to the hole at the top, you can easily hook it to any object of your choice. The range is decent, and on paper, Tile premises a 200-meter range in theory. A CR1632 battery powers it. This battery is affordable, and apack of 4 costs less than $10.
What We Like
- Versatile; can be used on a variety of objects
